*The phrasing doesn't necessarily imply that the Steamrunner survived - it could have proved itself before it was crippled or destroyed. My main beef with that same section is assertion that it "scraped up several important kills." There was one cube, no? What did it "kill," individual drones? On the whole, I think it needs to be reworked for clarity. Perhaps something more like: "At Wolf 359, the USS Steamrunner (which was still not fully built, and was operating at around 40% efficiency) was able to prove its effectiveness against the Borg Cube, causing major damage to the cube's power systems. While the Steamrunner was crippled/destroyed in that battle, the demonstration of its tenacity and potency resulted in the commissioning of three Steamrunner-type ships (the Tiger, the Horatio, and the Yamato), thus inaugurating the class."

::Yup, that kills reference bugged me too. Might be computer systems knocked out? - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt Cmdr.

::*Could be, but I still think clarity's needed. In my mind, at least, "kills" in terms of space operas plugs straight into the connotation of ships destroyed. [[User:Onewhoisseveral|Onewhoisseveral]] 16:52, 29 September 2008 (EDT) | |||
