The DITL Fleet

[Lt. Staplic]

here we are:

USS Stitch
The USS Stitch was launched recently to supplement the existing Daystrom Fleet. The ship encountered early problems as the captain couldn't seem to decide on the look of his ship. In three weeks, the paint job had been redone seven times, and the arrangement of the bridge, with the lighting, had been over hauled at least twice. Only after Starfleet began objecting to these radical changes did the captain finally give it a rest and stick with his current one. Some inside sources have noted that it may just be because the present style gave the captain an excuse not to decorate for the upcoming holiday that many other Daystrom Captains were getting ready to deck out their ships for. Recently, it has been learned that the captain missed a payment when going through the academy and was at threat of loosing his ship to pay off his debt. Fortunately he was able to collect the money and his captaincy has remained intact. Over the past year, the USS Stitch has gained another record, that of most family members on a single ship. Both of the Captains brothers serve the ship in various departments.

USS Mikey
The Captain of the USS Mikey is a little bit different from the rest of the Daystrom Captains. He is the only one that was promoted to command after showing new captains the way around the ship, trying o get them interested in commanding it. While he was a great salesman, after a year of that, he demanded a ship of his own and was given command of the Mikey. The USS Mikey is a rather unique ship for the Daystrom Class. It spends the most amount of time near earth, as the captain has a growing family there; he recently had a new child. Starfleet has offered to allow family on the ship, but Mikey has refused this many times, both from the military stand point and the insanity it would cause him. A holonovel was once written for the captain by his family to try and convince him to let them aboard; unfortunately it had the opposite effect. In the program, The Mikey was observing the Romulan shipyards keeping track of production time while cloaked. His kids, who used the ship as their oversized playground, innocently and accidentally turned off the cloaking device exposing the Mikey to the nearby Romulan's, who chased the ship all the way back to the Federation.

[Mikey]

Much obliged. You know my daughter, I see.

[Lt. Staplic]

ask and you shall recieve.

Even if I do have to read through all 200 + pages of the What's the Latest in Peoples Lives thread.

USS Staplic

The USS Staplic is one of the newest ships in the fleet, yet is the second busiest in the service. She has a tendency to turn up in different parts of the galaxy in record times. On one notable occurence, the USS Staplic briefly met the USS Reliant on the Romulan Neutral Zone, met up with the USS Seafort and USS Rochey in the Binar system, debating the best way to de-bug the society, and arrived on the Cardassian Boarder with the USS Tsuki to support the USS Mark, whose Captain had managed to irritate several Keldon class warships, whose Guls were attempting an impromptu invasion to try and catch the famously irritating Captain. Oddly enough, at a joint briefing, the Captains of the Reliant, the Seafort, the Rochey, the Mark, and the Tsuki compared notes, and realized the Staplic had indeed managed to be in all three different locations at once.

USS Duskofdead and USS Tholian-Avenger, for those who think they know them well enough? USS Jim, perhaps?

[Mark]

Don't look at me...........those guys were before my time.

[Captain Seafort]

Jim, I don't know much about. Tholian Arsehole is (or was) our resident CSA apologist/holocaust denier.

Duskofdead's main claims to fame involve a couple of spectacular bust-ups regarding his claims that Starfleet shouldn't build proper warships, and that counter-attacking someone who invades your territory is evidence you're planning galactic genocide.

[Mark]

USS Tholian Avenger

The USS Tholian Avenger has a history as dark as the Constitution Class USS Exeter, as the Captains of both vessels participated in atrocities and violent breaches of the Prime Directive. During an attempted genocide of an entire species, her Captain (whose only reason for his actions were, they're different and we're better) was confronted by several other Daystrom class vessels such as the USS Graham Kennedy, the USS Ian Kennedy, the USS Taeos (still misspelled at the time), the USS Seafort, the USS Rochey and the USS Mikey. In an epic battle, the USS Tholian Avenger was destroyed with all hands as her Captain attemepted to breach the ships core inside the planets atmosphere, which would have destroyed ALL life on the planet.

USS Duskofdead

The USS Duskofdead was a promising vessel, with a crew that had a lot of potential. Her Captain, who began to outspokenly disagree with several of the Federations defense policies, elected to resign his commission rather than command his ship in a time of war. The USS Duskofdead is currently in mothball, awaiting renaming and recomminssioning.

[Mikey]

Spot-on, Mark.

[Mark]

Who'da thought I'd get into this?

[Lt. Staplic]

surely not the captain capable of quantom leaping.

[shran]

Tsukiyumi, could you do the USS Uzume. No, not that ' doing her' I mean describing the USS Uzume.

[Tsukiyumi]

Tsukiyumi, could you do the USS Uzume. No, not that ' doing her' I mean describing the USS Uzume.

Yeah, I'm sure I can come up with something...

[Tsukiyumi]

USS Uzume

While the USS Uzume is one of the most capable ships in the fleet, her captain usually eschews mission priorities, instead choosing to spend time socializing with unscrupulous and unsavory individuals. The Uzume is often seen wandering aimlessly around uncharted or dangerous regions of space, and as a result, rarely participates in any projects or missions of merit. The captain of the USS Tsuki has made it a personal mission to get the captain of the Uzume on track, and although much progress has been made, this task is far from complete. The Admiralty has confidence that once the Uzume's captain realizes her worth, the ship will contribute much to the goals of the Federation.

[Mark]

Just wanted to compile the entire list of Daystrom Class vessels..............any others?

USS Mark:
The USS Mark is notable for its destruction ratings. Since the introduction of the Daystrom Class the USS Mark has been named to seven ships. Fortunately, almost no losses have occurred to the crew. The most likely cause of the occurrences is the captain's tendencies to enjoy taunting his opponents. When the ship should remain cloaked as a silent observer, the USS Mark will often decloak, take rather aggressive scans and attempt to flee at high warp. This isn't always successful, and when the Mark is run down the captain again aggravates matters by engaging in a series of one-liner quips at the enemy captain usually causing him to think for a second before realizing the full extent of the insult.

USS Reliant:
One of the more successful ships at completing its task, the USS Reliant is serves it's role as scout/stealth cruiser well. This is most likely due to the sneaky and Romulan style leadership of its captain, though other causes have been linked with the captain's ability to "convince" enemy captains to release them with a few private words. When this fails to work, the captain also has the intelligence to not only out maneuver, but drastically outsmart the enemy, allowing it to escape capture by enemies.

USS Deep:
This ship fills its cruiser role much better than its scout or stealth forms. The Captain has made several modifications to his ship increasing its shield and wepons power. The USS Deep has the highest number of enemy kills of all of the Daystrom Class. Starfleet has had to on several occasions however call the ship in to prevent the final construction of a phase lance to the ship.

USS Rochey:
Another well performing ship and one of the most disciplined in the fleet. The USS Rochey has gathered several key intelligence reports on enemy fleets; however it also holds the top 30 records for fastest request for transfer. The ship's crew is kept in perfect discipline and form by the captain, who spends several hours each day plugged into the ships computer where he monitors the crew's every move.

USS Tsuki:
A highly effective ship at acquiring defecting enemy crews. The ability is accredited to the rebellions nature of the captain, who is able to convince enemy's of the futility of working for their government, practicing their religion, and even has them questioning if life is truly life by the end of their ten hour engagement. He then returns their wits to them but with a modified loyalty to his aims rather than their own. Several Admirals have attempted to move the captain to a position where he could influence the leaders of these super powers effectively bringing the lot of the galaxy under Federation control however these attempts have failed as the captain is unable to move out of his command chair. He simply sits there reading his next speech against the infrastructure.

USS Blackstar (I had to make one mean funny) :
The only ship to have a shorter life than the USS Mark. The Captain of the Blackstar ran into trouble several times when he refused to believe his ship was a scout and stealth cruiser not a battleship. After the first few volleys, enemies even would attempt to convince him of his futile effort as he tried to take down three Norexen Class vessels. It was at this point that in typical fashion the deranged captain would order the ship to concentrate and form a wepons out of the subspace signals the onboard whales were sending back to their home world. Obviously, for reasons other than there were no whales on board, the wepons failed to have any effect and the ship would be destroyed. After loosing twelve ships in two months the captain was called back into Starfleet for a debriefing where he was relieved of command because of his inability to admit that it was his tactical error that caused the ships to be destroyed. Later he was ejected from Starfleet for arguing that the definition of destroyed didn't match what happened to his ships word for word, and hence they weren't actually destroyed.

USS Seafort

The USS Seafort has become known as the library ship. If ever a ship is needed that contains the accumilated knowledge of Starfleet and the Federation, the USS Seafort is dispatched. Her Captain has the reputation of being a gifted debater, but on three seperate occasions has precipitated a major conflict by continuing to press his point even after the alien Captains had long since given up and attempted to change the subject. During the second such conflict, the USS Mark-C was lost, and oddly enough, friendly fire could not be ruled out.

USS Teaos

The USS Teaos has the distincion of being the ONLY starship ever to serve in Starfleet that had it's name misspelled on the hull, and went unnoticed until pointed out by the Captain of the USS Tsuki over a year after being launched. She has served primarily in diplomatic and defensive roles, even though having been classified as a science ship. Her Captain, during his off hours routinely dresses as an old Earth animation character called Marvin Martain, during holodeck programs. The USS Teaos is also the only ship in the fleet that maintains her own sheep farm, although nobody aboard could exactly say why.

USS Stitch
The USS Stitch was launched recently to supplement the existing Daystrom Fleet. The ship encountered early problems as the captain couldn't seem to decide on the look of his ship. In three weeks, the paint job had been redone seven times, and the arrangement of the bridge, with the lighting, had been over hauled at least twice.
