      @@gordendavis3585 meh..Star Wars tech has sidearms that fire death rays, except the bolts fired from these ray guns are so slow that most people can dodge them easily, even casually. Also, they seem to have an internal program that makes them hit nowhere near where they are aimed. Come on, how advanced can Star Wars tech be if their weapons are less useful than a gun-powder revolver? Also, they build moon-sized, planet destroying space stations, and they they put some kind of weird ignition point right near the surface, where one stray bolt of energy hits it, and..kaboom! the entire death star blows up. Star Trek tech was designed for adult audiences. The science is not real, but always plausible. Star Wars tech was aimed at guys the age of Annakin when we first meet him. Impressive as hell if you're about 6, but stupid to think about as an adult.

    The Defiant class wasn't the only warship, just the only warship pre-Dominion War, During and after the Dominion War there were many warships designed and produced. Some examples are: Akira class, Sovereign class, Prometheus Class, and more. The Prometheus class was so powerful that in a Voyager episode (I don't remember which one) the Romulans captured it while it was on a testing cruise. It had a skeleton crew, otherwise they couldn't have captured it, but if the Romulans, who had very powerful warships anyway, wanted it's tech and firepower, then they know it was powerful. In order to capture and escort it back to Romulan space, they sent three D'deridex class warships, which are powerful enough to 1v1 a Galaxy class, and made Picard try and avoid confrontation at all costs with them in Next Generation (mostly). To recapture the Prometheus, Starfleet sent two Defiant class vessels and one Akira. Keep in mind that this is in the middle of the Dominion war, so Starfleet wouldn't send three of their most powerful ships to take it back unless it were important and very dangerous. One thing that made the Prometheus so powerful was that it had state of the art torpedoes, phasers, shielding, and could split itself into 3 pieces that could work together and each had significant firepower on their own. They were each basically a mini deployable warship. Sorry about the rambling, but I'm just trying to prove that Starfleet had more than one kind of warship.

      MiguelPmpM it's not her fate that made her a legend, it was what she had accomplished, like you said, she once had became the last carrier in the Pacific theater, but has keep the US Pacific Fleet afloat for months. She became the greatest threat to the Japanese Army and Fleet despite having very serious damages, her amazing crew has kept her surviving that she was dubbed the "Grey Ghost". It was Enterprise vs the Empire of Japan. It was sad though that the US navy had to scrap her.... 😢😢😢😢

    • @BeardsleyMark
      @BeardsleyMark 7 років тому +1

      Yeah, for a couple months the Pacific fleet was down to just one carrier, the Enterprise after losing 4 carriers (Lexington, Yorktown, Wasp and Hornet) and the USS Langley (kind of a carrier) in the first 11 months of the war. I think the Essex entered the Pacific in January or February of 1943. So at the beginning of 1943 it was just the Grey Ghost. But by August of 1945 there were 97 carriers in the Pacific fleet if you count the escort and light carriers. And that doesn't include the Brits or the Australians who had a sizable fleet of carriers as well!
      20 of the US carriers were fleet carriers and 77 were light or escort carriers. The US had 725 destroyers... Amazing!

      the United Federation of Planets would probably first try to discuss peaceful relations, until they are attacked, the Federation would win the war because they have photon torpedoes, transphasic torpedoes (maybe, 1 can destroy a Borg Cube), and phasers, which are more powerful than blasters (comparing hand phasers to blasters), and a greater quantity of vessels.

      So true. I love Star Wars for the lore and whole "galactic civil war" plot, but I loved Star Trek first and will always love it just a bit more. The serie's plot is further explained because it is a show lasting for years, character's development is apparent rather than just mysteriously thrown at you through the new movie (like star wars), and the technology is explainable through present day theory. The only thing that I dont like is the serious lack of realistic violence and how it portrays everything as being jolly when in reality things like the holocaust the Cardassians bring about in DS9 would be very dark and subversive.

    I think the Federation had a couple more combat oriented starship classes running. Originating from the borg threat response program like the defiant, came the Norway, Akira, Sabre, Yeager and Steamrunner classes, and I think the Defiant had a bigger brother too. They were manufactured after the outbreak of the Dominion war, as they gradually phased out their older and more peaceful starships.
