[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] There [i]is [/i] a wooden America though- it's a modern re-creation (no idea if there was ever such a ship back in the day), but the point stands: 100 year-old [i]de-commisioned[/i] ships would not be called upon to fight an enemy that far outclasses even your most advanced ships. It accomplishes [i]nothing[/i] and gets the crew (sizeable, even if it was an Academy trainer) killed. The argument that the Miranda and Excelsior classes served leading roles in the Dominion War is muted by the attrition in ships Starfleet suffered during the war's opening months and the loss of (at least one of) their shipyards. They had [i]time[/i] to de-mothball (Polaris) and refit (Lakota) older ships to a (somewhat) capable force. The "fleet" assembled at W359 would have been thrwn together in [i]days[/i] at most: no time to use anything not ready, and after the Borh handily creamed the Lalo [i]and[/i] the Enterprise's weapons did [i]nothing[/i], I cant see any capable admiral sending "whatever they had" into combat. Better by far to be in hock to te Klingons (and Romulans!) for saving your ass. ;) At least useing the "challenger" configuration, we can assume the ship is used as a freighter or science ship within the safety of the UFP and got drafted because it was within range (the smae reason there was not a larger force).
