(242) The Defiant Class (A Little Federation Warship) 

An overpowered, nearly ready to shake itself apart. Yet.... Somehow the ship was whipped into shape, and became one of the biggest pieces of badassery that ever graced the Federation.

"You just can´t shoot a hole in the surface of Solosos III" Sisko: make it two

Your video title reminded me of Worf. “LITTLE?????” 😂😂😂

The class that shows humans can still wake up and choose violence, we choose not to. I think it's why it's one if my favorite ships outside the D, a powerful reminder that the shield barerer often carries a nasty sword. Tangent, the whole series is an amazing show on the nature of what it is to be human when the world is inhumane and it's easily become one of my favorites, and all started out with a love of a little ship that could. Great video!!

*If any starship was fueled on Super Soldier Serum.... It would be the Defiant Class!!*

Tough little ship. you know i really enjoy these videos. they make my day when I'm having a rough day. thank you so much for these. keep it up.

One of my favorite scenes featuring the Defiant was in "The Die is Cast" when it was blowing away those Dominion attack ships while rescuing Odo and Garak. No wonder it was nicknamed "Sisko's Fist." 🖖😎👍

Absolutely fitting. Number #2 of my favorite ships of all. "It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the DOG!" This ship has proven this over and over again. Well done and thank you for sharing this.

One of my most favourite star trek ship designs next to the Connie refit!! When I first saw her on the episode "The Search " I instantly fell in love with it.

I am LOVING these video remakes! Thank you

Benjamin Sisko's mutha F***in Pimp Hand

Benjamin Siskos mutha fucking pimp hand!

Good morning my goog tri-nary. The U.S.S. Defiant is a tough little ship and can hold its own against just about anything. That was proven during the Dominion war and now has it's proper place at the Fleet museum and Star fleet history.

Thank you Miles O'Brian

Ah... the Federation version of the Confederations Defiance class....

"Little?"

“Vulcan has no moon.” 😀 I always imagine the development of a kind of super carrier that could dock and warp a squadron of Defiant class ships to battlefronts. They could also rearm and repair the smaller vessels and get them back into the fight quicker.

I appreciate the updated videos but I've also enjoyed every video since I found your channel

Love this, great job. im actually going at an old AMT Ertl model kit of one again (had the OG one with premixed paints in the late 90s), and it's one of my favorite ships (she was a gift from a cousin of mine who knew of my fondness for DS9 and that ship). She's a nice general purpose warship, and contrary to some fans believing crap they had a nice few of them being made at UP if they had cadets crewing one ffs lol.

Great job as usual. The render is awesome as well as the back story. I've always loved the Defiant when she first appeared in the two parter "The Search".

Dude, this was excellent! So glad you’re back.

Great video, its ironic that a vessel that was supposed to be easy to construct we saw so few of them. Also love the theme music of the video really fits the Defiant class.

Loved the Defiant in Deep Space 9. Even though the United Federation of Plants had a treaty with The Romulans, not to produce any cloaked ships. I wouldn't have agreed to it and developed our own class of Star Fleet's cloaked ships. Thanks for the video.

Worf loved it. Good enough for me.

I flew this ship for MONTHS in Star Trek Online, but it was erased in a patch bug. The USS BELLEAU WOOD NCC-611917 was manned by a crew sporting the colors of the Starfleet MARINE CORPS. I would finish a patrol in her and declare, "Sector Marine Corps entirely."

Cute but deadly little ship thank you for the video 😊

LITTLE? *worf has entered the chat*

I hope a Terran Rebellion story on the Defiant class in the Resistance

Fantastic video I would love more videos like this one please

Great stuff, more videos please

Love this little bugger:)

It has a shuttle bay! damn didn't know that, just got bumped up on my top 5 Trek ships to 3rd place

Wonderful!

Wow a Awesome!Video about the definted class

Tough little ship ❤

Such a cool "little" ship!

I like to call the Defiant as "The Sting" because it really was overpowered.

man the defiant is one of my favorite ships crossing my fingers fanhome will produce some xl models of the ship didnt get the change to get one from eaglemoss also i hope that one day we see the next defiant with an A behind the number and i do have some ships they could use for it inquiry class prometheus class

this kind of smallish ships it's the solution at the useless fighters problem like the peregrine in star trek, a small but still a true ship agile and powerful enough to not be one shotted

Every star base having two defiant class starships stationed with them on a permanent basis with permanent birthings for six more, making every star base a potential war hub if and when necessary, in addition every star base to have two intrepid class starships, with permanent birthings for two more, again making every star base a permanent mobile hub not only for defense but for exploration. Defiant & intrepid a core force of Starfleet and the federation.

Never liked the Defiant Class. Too small for a full size bowling alley. 😂

Tough little ship

Tough little ship made by The Sisko

When would the Defiant Class be considered obsolete? We know that Starfleet designed and used ships for a long time, but time does march on. So is the Defiant Class still a "Tough little ship" by the timeline at the end of Picard Season 3?

LITTLE!?

Tough ship.

Hermoso modelo

I consider this class the millennium falcon of the Star Trek universe.

Can U, Could Y imagine a Defiant/ Steamrunner Mistel?

a deadly patrol slash attack ship

Don't forget 'The Sisko!' He brought it back from Federation's mothballs, it was his Defiant Fist against the Borg. Sisko Just needed the clout of command to get Starfleet's Act together.

Ah, Starfleet's first pure warship, the Defiant Class. Perhaps, at some future time, you would consider covering Starfleet's other first pure warship, the Ares Class.

We have music now? 9:08 sisko stole our ship xD

You're giving your channel a Starfleet makeover, I see! Looking forward to it! Video comments: I feel like, in universe, a VERY pissed Sisko started the project by looking at the NX-01, and said, "When fighting the Borg, we can't rely on our shields. So, let's go back to the beginning, to ships that survived without shields. We build from there." He distilled the standard Starfleet template to something purely tactical, all the better to punch the Borg in their cyborg faces and make them wet their circuits, and made it small and hard to hit, as well as well-armored and VERY well armed. He almost called it the "USS Ben Sisko's MFing Pimp Hand," with which Starfleet agreed, but had to reject due to the name being too long. Legend has it that Commander Shelby giggled a little, and pitied the poor Cube that was on the wrong end of this class.

LITTLE?!?!?!?!

❤ Have you ever done a video on the defense ships in Best of Both worlds? You know the ones the Borg blew up interning the Sol System? I was always curious as to whether or not the were early runabouts.

little??

"little"???

The Defiant Class, the Little Mac(Punch Out Series) of starships. She was punching WAY above her weight.

Ah yes, the Hot-Rod-NOT-a-Warship Prototype we all love

you forgot USS Valiant

_Easily constructed starship_ ...? Wasn't part of the Defiants issues that it was difficult to manufacture due to its warp core being so complicated. Which is why Starfleet didn't have many of them, even during the Dominion War when Starfleet pumped out as many combat ships as they could. Otherwise Starfleet would have had entire wings of them. In fact they should have been producing updated versions of them after Utopia Planita was destroyed, as it didn't need large shipyards. In _Picard,_ if Starfleet needed to suddenly strengthen their fleet after their biggest shipyards were destroyed, while not using a lot of personnel, the Defiant class mark 2 would be very appropriate.

Didn't the design of an anti Borg ship come down to the defiant against the nova

Chief obrian was the one that figured the bugs out

With respect. Your script is good But what I hear a lot it . The X- class several times in a couple of sentences. Now we know what ship your on about but . That's all I hear and can't focus on your script

That's great. I wish you would've kept the originals up until the replacements were ready though.

But Vulcan has no moon???

I think I liked the original video on the Defiant better, it had more detail and a better background song perhaps you should remake this again changing the music to something less heavy metal and re-adding the technical and historical knowledge you had in the previous video as well as the new information put forth in this video, or better yet make a 2 part video using the information detail from both this and the old video with the first part starting at the same place as this video but ending with the part about the ship going into mothballs but not for long as the cliffhanger into part 2 which starts off about the dominion the work done on fixing the ships technical issues and going on with the role it played during the dominion war end with its successor being put in the fleet museum maybe extending on what notions in starship designs would result from it creation, just food for thought

Don't put anything from Star Trek Picard in your videos Literally, Star Trek discovery and Picard are horrible Star Trek and should never be mentioned at all with old track
