In my experience, it doesn't do any good to tell Fireblade what to do.

Why else would she be on an outdated vessel with a green crew on the front line?

Well, they're dropping one version of an aircraft in development for another that's also in development. I was surprised to hear that they had planned to go for the F-35C version at all... the Brits were awfully fond of their VTOL.

But isn't the VTOL F-35B on hold and in danger of being cancelled?

...the F-35B and C versions don't have cannons? FAIL

...Japan is still using F-4 Phantom II's? HAHAHAHAHA

...Japan is still using F-4 Phantom II's? HAHAHAHAHA

And the US is still using the B-52, which is even older.

Old joke: How do you break up a game of Bingo in Iraq?

Shout "B-52!"

...how can we keep making these jokes if they retire the old BUFF?

Meh. They've got us, why would they need to rush to replace their aircraft? Also they have more F-15s than F-4s and if you count the F-2 and F-15 then they have twice as many modern fighters as F-4s. That's also without counting the trainers which are probably fully functional.

BECAUSE (1) THERE'S A WAR ON (2) THE WAR OFFICE IS RUNNING LOW ON MONEY

Back when I used to play SFB, we joked that on some backwater Federation colony the B-52 was up to model W, refitted to be warp capable....

Don't be ridiculous, the Federation doesn't have warships, just engineers . Also, making Star Trek aliens fight those strikes me as mean (consider: 'carpet bombing' an enemy starship with photon torpedoes).

Edit: Though, thinking about it, the Klingons might be impressed: "Your great-great-great-great-grandfather flew this into battle and it still works?" Tourism would be inevitable.

Wasn't the defiant a warship?

Also century old ships that still work - the cligons would love wh40k imperium then.

[Karst45]

well the federation have a lots of warship. but you moslty see "exploration" and "science" ship in the show.

How else would you be able to keep your hold on such a vast empire... surely not with thankful wishing. They are just shy to call them warship. But i consider that "Tactical cruiser" and "escort" are warship with pretty name.

Well as far as I know the defiant was their first ship designed for actual warfare. Everything else was a civilian ship with tacked on weapons. And I think they did actually mostly maintain the empire on nothing but good will.

[NOMAD]

I believe karst got it on the nose federation does have combat ships, its just not really brought up in movie and TV series. I got a model fo the enterprise-E and can be classified as a battle cruiser.

the defiant was the first combat only designed ship the federation built, in order to counter the borg incursions. its ended up being used for the war against the Dominion in DS9 ( and a camo in the Star Trek first contact movie).
