More information please?

If you take the romantic view of starfleet being about research and exploration, from the start of TNG, then yeah, but surely after the events that unfolded in DS9 etc, they were revy much on a war footing.

Are you saying that in a carrier battle group, the admiral should be in a reaserch vessel? - no he will transfer his flag to the prime asset - the heaviest hitter in the fleet - the nimitz aircraft carrier.

Even the Sovie Ent E was an evolution to a more warship oriented starfleet, I don'f feel any conflict between the ship design and purpose at all.


@Japme: Looking at the conference room, and the bridge - I hope the sickbay has a good laser eye surgury unit, because that lighting level - eve though it looks cool, has gotta play havoc with everyone's eyesight!

Agent Starling, meet Mr. Acherontia styx,
Better known to his friends as 'the Death's-head moth'.
