[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] [QUOTE]Taking the example of the DeMoines class ships "kept just in case", imagine some foreign power makes one uber-battleship that cruise missiles and nuclear warheads cant scratch: does the US Navy crew up it's obsolete Demonies class ships with able bodied victi...er....sailors and send them to fight said uber-ship?[/QUOTE]Yet in the diverse galaxy of Star Trek, the foreign power might send out a mighty fleet of sailing ships armed with bronze cannon. Would the USN, heavily engaged in slugging it out with the Soviets, divert twelve modern missile destroyers (each with a peashooter on the fo'castle) to confront that fleet, or a single elderly gun cruiser with 12 heavy barrels? Also, some spatial threats do not evolve or escalate. A T Tauri star will stay a T Tauri star, and the vessel type capable of approaching one for study in 2154 will still be useful in that role in 3154, or 200154. I rather doubt Starfleet would have any real incentive to aim for "lean and mean" when "obese and omnipresent" will do the job so much better. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
