[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] I think that the older ships would be stored or turned in to a reserve fleet, manpower numbers would increase, for a decade, at least. History shows that a quick dismantlement of the military is usually followed by another increase, WW1 to WW2, WW2 to Korea, Korea to Vietnam.... Then we finally got a break.... Having learned this lesson I think Starfleet/Federation would keep the numbers up, especially with the Romulans or Breen looking at them. The increase in more capable ships with smaller crews would only prompt a larger fleet, using a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 ratio, say, 50 Excelsiors would be replaced by 100 to 150 Nova/Intrepid/Defiant class vessels. Rebuilding the fleet should also take about a decade, unless I missed something on screen, what was it Shelby(sp) said about 359, a year?? Given wartime production would cut that in half, maybe in third, that still leave quite while to rebuild. Exploration may take on a totally new aspect also, especially in the areas around hostile nations. This will probably be done by the larger vessels taking a smaller volume to explore, keeping help nearby. [/QB][/QUOTE]
