The Defiant went out in a Blaze of Glory. She even protected her Lifeboats as they ejected from her top and belly. She went out with Honor .

I love the way Mr Brooks says "Fire" in this episode. lol

It's very confident and a bit cocky, which sets up the out come of the battle as ironic.

@Wimpoman Of corse it is. They were expecting an easy victory. They had a fleet made up of the 3 most powerfull races military wise in both the Alpha and beta Quadrunts, they had found a countermesure to the Dominion beam weaponry so it didn't just go right through the shields. They lost I belive like 98% of the fleet or somthing like that.

Seriously this scene is one of the most emotional things to ever happen in star trek. Not once have things gone from good to bad so quickly and so extremely as it did during this episode. When Sisko calls for the ship to be abandoned its the most heart wrenching thing I've ever heard.

Captain Sisko obviously dislikes this.

@TRUExSIGHTS Don't you know? NO ONE runs on Star Trek, especially the main characters. They could have stopped to get a replicated coffee, a donut, and listened to some Klingon Opera before heading leisurely to the escape pods.

I remember this episode like it was yesterday. The Defiant got split wide open by those last 2 torpedoes, and the metal practically SCREAMS when it does. Still sends chills down my spine every time. The music practically breaks your heart too. Everyone touts the Defiant as being the most bad-ass ship ever, but it lost more than a few times in battle.

"Poor Capt Sisko...I believe he was quite fond of that shit." (I know he says ship, but I the first time I heard it, I LOLed.)

@LivesForJihad Sounds Good .

@Roadracer987654321 Good ships go out in a blaze of glory...great ships never get destroyed.

@katanaburner confirmed by all credible canon sources 9 Defiant class vessels were constructed by Starfleet. 2 were destroyed both during the dominion war the USS Defiant and the USS Valiant.

These vessels are always attached to a planetary defense network like earths main starbase, or to smaller stations in key hot spots like DS-9

Due to the Defiants size, crew compliment (49) lack research facilities or steller cartography, the defiant is not registered by Starfleet for independent steaming.

[katanaburner]

@sagequan I learn something everyday. And I gotta say that my Star Trek know how just got thrown out the window here. How many Defiant class ships are there?

[sagequan]

@katanaburner Yes they can, infact starfleet placed the Defiant class into mass production thanks to the diligent work and testing by Benjamin Sisko. Unfortunately they did not have room for much improvement given that its current technology was already far ahead of its time. But they do not have cloaking devices as the Defiants cloaking device was given to Sisko by the Romulans themselves thus superceiding the treaty of algeron. The only known case in Federation history.
