[QUOTE]Originally posted by crobato: [QB] Lutzow had bad luck. Graf Spee was caught but had a good run. The Scheer had quite a lucky run and survived the war. Let's not forget that the battlecruisers Schwarnhorst and Gneisnau wre probably the most successful of their type given the damage they caused to the British, including ambushing a carrier. Until the advent of patrols, battlecruisers were quite effective in deep enemy territory operations. But eventually though, it turns out that submarines could accomplish the same job for a lower cost. I would speculate that if Star Trek wars are fought in more practical and realistic assumptions, the brunt of the battles would be carried by massed formation of ships from the 100m to 350m class. Based on the game Dominion Wars, it would be termed as Class 1 and Class 2 ships. In the English language, that would be your Escort, Frigate, Scout, and Destroyer classes, covering the gamut of ships from the Bird of Prey, the Defiant, the Sabre to the Steamrunner, Norway and Intrepid classes. This would be most modern naval wars where the brunt of action were carried by destroyers and frigates including World War II. There are value in the two extremes in a Trek environment---large super capital ships and massed formations of strike fighters from carriers, but it would be the smaller middle ships that would take the brunt of fighting and dying in a war.
