    Very cool, thanks for creating this. The DD remains one of the most iconic ships from the TNG era.

    This was a very goo read! Indeed arguably one of the most iconic ships of TNG. I hope this is the first of many such articles Chris! Thank you for writing it.

    Thanks for all the positive feedback. The article was actually written for an edition of the Herald that never got released and I actually had no idea it was being posted up now not that I object.

    'Federation Education' was one of a few regular articles I was hoping to write for the Herald and if there is demand I'm more than happy to produce some more.
