[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] Here's an interesting fact from TNG's third season. When Riker, Troi and Lwaxana are taken hostage by the Ferengi, Data and Wesley talk about the academy. Data tells him that 90% of those who finish the academy are not transferred to Galaxy-class starships. Assuming that there are six Galaxys, each with a crew of 1000, there are only 60,000 new ensigns each year. Just taking the statement from Wolf 359 into concideration (40 ships equal 10,000 people) either starfleet has been constantly growing at a constant rate over the past decades (few retirements/deaths) to maintain such a fleet or there are (better: were during TNG) much less ships in service than we currently think. For comparison: The DS9TM assumes that the Cardassian military recruits more than half a million new troops each year. [/QB][/QUOTE]
