[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] If, indeed the Klingon's had a fleet of 1500 starships (as a second person has seemed to recall) at the time (or that number can be deduced from the dialogue), we could possibly proceed from this data point on very roughly guessing the size of Starfleet. Even accounting for the losses the Klingon fleet undoubtedly suffered, and I think a loss rate of 50% would be catastrophic, the Klingon fleet probably originally numbered a few thousand vessels (2000 to 4000). I, personally, do not think the number of Starfleet "capital" ships (not including registered shuttles, runabouts, and other craft (those 70,000 registries have to represent something)) would be more than two or three, maybe four, times greater than the number of Klingon ships, giving us a Starfleet of 4000 (2000x2) to 16,000 (4000x4), before accounting for losses to the Dominion. My speculation is certainly not meant to seriously establish any real idea of Starfleet's size, but I do think the suggestions of a 40,000 ship Starfleet are a bit over the top. Thus, if the Klingon's had a (partially decimated) fleet of 1500, I do not think it reasonable to believe Starfleet numbered more than 10,000 "capital" ships. (Personally, I fall into the "small Starfleet" school, with the organization only having a few thousand ships, at best.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
