As a fan of the Defiant design (though I wish it had a more distinctive look, where you could look at it from a distance and say, with only a glance, "that's a Defiant-class ship), I'd like to see them in UF.

It occurs to me that the IPO has a rather small fleet, and lacks the personnel to crew large numbers of Sovereign-class ships.

However, a Defiant-class ship in the hands of a capable captain could easily take out a Galaxy-class warship; a Prometheus-class ship, in the hands of someone as competent as UF-Gryphon, would be downright terrifying.
