[QUOTE]Originally posted by vwuser: [QB] I am speaking of the real world setting here. I would think that both the Cardassians and the Klingons would have knowledge of where the majority of the Federation starships were located. The more I read history, the more that I realized that the depiction of fleets in Star Trek is based primary on a 19th century vision of sea power. Ships needing to be resupplied with fuel and consumables at naval ports, and ships transferring personnel at sea. Battles of manned ships at close distance. And, the idea that sailors fight on board ship and on land is far older in time, dating back to antiquity. (There wasn't the strict division of naval and land forces until the modern era.) This is far from the model of naval warfare we have nowadays. Though ships still get fuel and consumables at port, the emphasis is on keeping them longer at sea, so there are supply ships and tankers. And ships fight at great distances. And a new concept is emerging - power projection. [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_power_projection]Power Projection[/URL] I find the changes in TNG HD inconsistent. There is a minor change made to an okudgram that appears in one scene (see Unification Part I), while in another episode (see A Matter of Time) we have the set appearing above the shuttlebay set. For myself, I would have prioritize the latter over the former. Then, whoever rewrote the Redemption II texts that Data read, had a fetish for technobabble porn. It's incomprensible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
