[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] "Guerriere" is French for the feminine pronunciation of "warrior". It's pronounced "GEH-ree-EHR". The masculine pronunication is Guerrier, or "GEH-ree-eh". Why? And hey, the USN routinely uses ships that are thirty or more years old. Less so these days, but during the Cold War, anything went. If you extrapolate from the NCC numbers, most ships in the TNG era were probably no more than 50-60 years old, trending lower. If things really DO last much longer in the future, this isn't unreasonable. All that's left is the use of antiquated designs - but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The US Army standard sidearm was the Colt 1911, a .45 pistol that was standard from 1911 through to the first Gulf War, with few model changes in between. They STOPPED making the pistol in 1945, and had enough to last over forty years... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
