"Either it's Ganda and Ezri has a slight British accent, or it's Gander and Sisko has a slight New England accent (and the runabout is named after an Earth river, like usual on DS9), or the close-captioning of Ganges was correct and this is the second runabout with that name," would be best.

Uh, it's not the other way around, Frank... If the runabout's name is Ganda, then Ezri is saying the improper "Gander," so she has a slight British accent. If the name is Gander, and Sisko is saying the improper "Ganda," then Sisko has a slight New England accent.

Let's face it, Nicole DeBoer is Canadian. I have met a Canadian who transfered into my French class. When she spoke in English, she would say the -er words in -a.
For example: Are you goining to dinna(dinner) tonite?
That singa(singer) is cute!
And when she met Michael_T, she thought she was meeting a French girl!!!

As does the stereotypical brittish accent, stereotypical ebonics, etc. Accents aren't defined so much by what's left out or added on as by what's emphasized and by how long certain sounds last. Anyway, why doesn't someone look up both names and see if there are rivers called by either? That'd pretty much settle it. Assuming, of course, they stuck to the river naming scheme, and there aren't rivers by both names.

There's a Gander river in Newfoundland along with a city named Gander.

It's not tiny, per se; smaller than any other one yet, IIRC, but it exists.
And Sisko has always named runabouts after Earth rivers. We have no reason to think he'd change that. Although no reason to think he wouldn't either...

This is the part where Frank snaps and beats up the waiter, and then Bart has to testify against him, only he can't because he was skipping school, right? I loved that episode.

What does the new encyclopedia say about the episode "Valiant?" And does the book mention the explosion of the runabout?

In the updated encyclopedia it mentions the episode valiant (there is even a picture of the USS Valiant). It mentions nog and jake on a diplomatic mission and are attacked by jem'hadar fighters and are forced to abandon ship when they are rescued by the Valiant. There is no mention of what happeneed to the Shenandoah after that but since it was abandoned in cardassina space i doubt we will see it again.
