2) How many ships could Weyoun 7 have referred to when he ordered Damar to send a whole battalion after Odo and Weyoun 6?

Well, bearing in mind a battalion is never used to refer to ships the possibilities are as follows:

1)Weyoun 7 knows nothing about naval designations and simply ment a squadron or a lot of ships;
2)Battalion usually refers to a ground unit of around 1000 men so perhaps ships with crews totalling this number or;
3)1000 ships (not likely, I know)

Did he say "battalion?" His mistake. He meant "legion." Or possibly "cohort."
