Well, the (a?) Prometheus was around Earth when Voyager got back home. Its possible the ship was still doing... something at one of the fleet yards.

I'm not sure who you're responding to, but: I'm not suggesting that the Prometheus should have been anywhere in particular. Just that, if it was out there on active duty, you would probably want to use it for missions that you wouldn't want an admiral on.

Oh, I dont know.....ideally a Fleet Admiral would need to be in a ship with multiple rescources available: room for his staff, great communications and it needs to be well defended (although escorts could handle that for the most part).
Mabye his use of the Cerebus was just for that occasion whee speed was of the utmost imporntance- as the Fed is far larger than usually represented in episodes- to get him where he needed to be fasy (in that case, he was running between empires to defuse the allied powers from invading the Gamma Quardrant after DS9 was attacked by rogue Jem Hadar).

I see this as the same reason he and the gang were shuttling to Romulus on the Bellerophon - a fast Intrepid-class ship. I can certainly see Ross using "the fastest ship in the fleet" to get around to critical places... But in the thick of battle, I'd put my Admiral on a ship outfitted more for command and control than combat.

...any ship with the EMH version 2.0 would not be a ship worth using. It'd be too tempting to destroy the ship just to shut him up.

Andy was specifically mentioned as an EMH Mark II, so no. The LMH episode occurred before "Message in a Bottle". They were up to EMH Mark IV by the time of "Life Line".
