[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daryus Aden: [QB] Exactly. The war was fought along a huge front, the Defiants would have been spread all over the place. I've always felt that (for instance) in WYLB there would have been multiple taskforces hitting the Cardies from every direction, not just the 9th fleet. In addition, there may be another reason there weren't heaps of these vessel: A lack of officers to command them. Say you can produce 6 defiant class ships to every galaxy. (Using the same resources). And that each defiant class ship has 50% of the overall firepower of a galaxy class vessel. It would be logical in terms of bang for bucks to have 6 defiants to one galaxy as you'd be putting 3 times the effective firepower on the frontline. And barring the really big battlecruisers the defiant seems to be able to take on almost anything. However where are you going to find the 6 captains to command these ships. And 6 CMO's chief engineers etc. It may simply be a manpower shortage. Another possibility is that there isn't the industrial infrastructure in place to maintain a fleet of Defiant class ships, afterall having a handful of prototypes (or whatever) is a long way from having the production lines created to mass produce and maintain the ships, even if we do assume that many Federation componenets are modular.
