[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] But Sisko did speak of *two* Galaxy wings, and we see two Galaxy class ships... Frankly, I'd have liked to see more correlation between the dialogue and the VFX. Nowhere in the battles did the Federation ships appear to be fighting in formations of any sort. It was everybody for herself, except for those annoying obligatory moments of "Bogie on your six!" "I can't shake him!" "Hang on!"... No organization whatsoever. How would a "Galaxy wing" operate, assuming it's something built of a Galaxy and her escorts? From the looks of the Galor-cutting sequence, it could be that the Galaxy spearheads the formation, eliminates the hardest resistance, and allows the lesser ships to move in and finish the job, then perhaps turns tail and runs so as not to be damaged by the lesser opponents. Much like a war elephant might plunge into the ranks of enemy cavalry, opening the way for the infantry to engage the enemy infantry, and then escaping before the mighty beast panics. In no case could I see a "Galaxy wing" operating in the same manner as today's carrier wings. A wet-navy carrier is a defenseless hindrance to the wing in ship-to-ship or ship-to-sub combat - a Galaxy is the wing's most potent combatant in that form of fighting. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
