40'000 in a pigs eye! Being a scribe of the Chrono-registry theory, there is no way in Gene's fictional universe that Starfleet ever had 40'000 vessels at one time. I doubt that at any one time Starfleet had more than 20'000 ships--- I hold fast to figures between 8'000 and 12'000 during and about DS9.

You sure its from "tacking into the Wind"? because I tought it was from "When it rains" where Martok mentions that at that momnet he has 1500 klingon ships with the same moifaction as the K'tiang with more getting it done?

Thanks for checking. The "1100 Klingon ships" line is a bit too vague in and of itself to establish the size of the entire Klingon fleet, but at a twenty-to-one ratio that alone would put the Dominion fleet at 22,000. 22,000 is a whole lotta ships. If one chooses to interpret the "twenty-to-one" line as a reference to the ratio between the combined Alliance (Federation and Klingon) fleet and the Dominion fleet one gets an even greater number. Either way, I still think the lines point towards a "small Starfleet," with no more than a few thousand "capital" ships.
