[QUOTE]Originally posted by Trinculo: [QB] Shipbuilder: How did you do in math at school? The book is published in 1998. 1998-9=1989. The book is set in the year 2374. 2374-9=2265. Three years before the USS Bozeman appeared. The quoted portions do not mention the ships being active. "Unification, Part 1" established that ships are salvaged for parts. Could there be a dockyard of old Soyuz Class ships? There are two ways to read the "nearing the vessels' primary operational lifetimes": 1. the ships were retired early in 2288 (what is a primary operational lifetime for a Miranda Class starship? About 50 years-there are Miranda Class starships in the Qualor II surplus depot. This places the construction of the first Soyuz in 2238-making the class older than the Miranda Class.) 2. the ships were operational in 2365. Not supported by canon evidence. 1 is the best choice. I live near the moth ball fleet. They have ships that date to at least 50 years and more. These ships are on reserve duty-meaning some can still work. Imagine-there is a dockyard of Soyuz Class starships. The subspace transceivers and weapons equipment still work. These parts are removed from ships that could still be active and placed in storage. DS9 needs weapons. Why build new weapons when a storage yard has a surplus of old but active weapon systems? These are used. Any opinions? [/QB][/QUOTE]
