[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] Just occured to me what Starfleet's fleet would look like a few years after the Dominion War, if we still go by that if any of post-TNG series was still on it would be 2378-2379. Thats 3-4 years after the war, so would Starfleet be back to its pre-war strength? [b]Rebuilding the Fleet[/b] In the first two years, I am willing to bet that Starfleet would be still building a war time production of ships to replace those that were destroyed during the war. What I mean by replacing these ships, I mean by whatever role they served in the pre-war fleet, they would be replaced with a ship equalling or surpassing their abilities. For example, a Excelsior class ship was destroyed and she was assigned to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone during the pre-war years, now however with the Romulans being more peaceful since the end of the war (assumption) that ship would ship to replace that Excelsior would be built, a Akira class or a Intrepid class but instead of replacing one ship it would replace two ships equaling the capabilities of the nwer ship, right? So one ship is less costly than a two ships, which is good for post-war fleet that would have crew sizes going down. [b]Performance of the Ships[/b] The war was perhaps Starfleet's best way to analyze it ship's performance during the war. This could be wither good or bad. Meaning that Starfleet takes a look at the Excelsior class and sees that the kill ratio is 1 to 2. For every enemy ship destroyed by a Excelsior big or small, two Excelsiors are destroyed. Meaning that either the Excelsiors could be brought in for a major refit similar to the Lakota class or class-wide retirement of the Excelsiors and are replaced with more capable ships. Now this is not limited to combat ships, but to explorer ships as well. However they can be analyzed during peacetime since it does not take a war to see how well a ship can 'explore'. [b]Replacement of Ships[/b] As in rebuilding the fleet, Strafleet after about three years would start replacing aging ships with more capable ships, which could hold less crew than lets say 3 ships with a combined equal abilities to the single newer ships. This could 3 Oberths vs. a Nova class, or 3 Mirandas vs. 1 Defiant (more like 10 Mirandas). Strafleet couldn;t do this before the Dominion War, for alot of reasons, first it was the Borg. It was though that the Borg would invade the Federation with more ships than just one. (You can see that because a 40 ship fleet was only assembled within a week but a 600 ship+ flet could be assembled ina few weeks. So 600 ships can probably overwhelm even a Cube's defenses.) Then it was the Cardassions, then the Klingons, the Borg again and then finally the Dominion. St that point my guess, Starfleet would not decomission ships but keep them in the front lines (for target practive for the enemy). Now that the war is over, the fleet is back up to pre-war strength, now its time to get rid of those shships that showed to be almost target practice for the enemy. In the end, a modern post-war fleet would be 5.000-6,000 ships vs. a 10,000+ pre-war fleet but both fleets would be equal in capabilities. What do you think the Post-Dominion War Starfleet fleet would look like? [/QB][/QUOTE]
