Mojo said that the Akira in "Message in a Bottle" was actually the Thunderchild... remember he also said that the two Defiants were BOTH labeled "Defiant"?

I like to believe that the Akira was the Spector, and that the Defiants were both new ships we haven't heard the name for yet. One is labeled the Defiant, but I don't think it is, and the other can't be the Sao Paulo, it was launched sometime during or after "In the Pale Moonlight."

Maybe because of the stardate on the dedication plaque.

Forgot what the stardate was, but I know it was close to "In the Pale Moonlight." (Actually, it's the only stardate mentioned in the sixth season)

Message in a Bottle -> 51462 In the Pale Moonlight -> 51721.3 (There were 7 stardates mentioned in Season 6) Sao Paulo -> 52889.3

So they'd just gone and launched it, named it for the people of Brazil, and then said "sorry, Brazil! This bald guy who runs and sulks in his dad's kitchen whenever a friend of his dies wants to change the name to Defiant!" Or maybe they just said "fuck Brazil!"

Oops. My mistake. I thought that "In the Pale Moonlight" was the only one. It was close to it, though. And why rename a ship? I liked it when it was called the Sao Paulo. And they went and renamed it "Defiant." I guess an adjective is better than one of the world's most populous cities in a hot, sweaty, South American country.

Oi. Get over it people. I'm sure the people of Sao Paulo said, "They changed the name of our beloved warship!! Blast this interplanetary peaceful federation!! I know, lets make our OWN interplanetary federation! We'll name ALL the ships Sao Paulo! And nobody will stand in our way of galactic domination! MUWHAHAHAHA!"
I mean, really.

Or, maybe, Starfleet arranges to have another ship named USS Sao Paulo for the people of Brazil. A deal maker? Capt. Sisko gets a Defiant and Brazilians get a Sao Paulo. I am curious as to what class the new Sao Paulo would be.

A Miranda. And the people of Brazil revolted.
