Both the Enterprise and the Stennis were involved in Operation Enduring Freedom. Now looking at the total number of warships present, and the number of carriers, you could try to scale up and get the number of carriers. But you end up with about 22 carriers by that figure, almost twice as many as we have.Alyeska wrote:Refer to the Federation Fleet size thread. And we rarely see GCSs?

My PDD on ASVS on the ISB and Kaz' analyis show that the Imperial Fleet specifications are actually conservative. But we will use them anyway.
We have at least 4,800,000 Imperial starships going by a conservative 2000 for "thousands" of sector groups. Note I am not even counting the enormous amount of civilian vessels, which Starfleet also must produce and control and fits into your fleet numbers.
And Aleskya, where do you get 12,000 Federation starships from?
And don't you think there would be an abundance of GCS' in an invasion force? Most of the time, we rarely see them.
Interesting as to the Imperial Source Book. That would be 66 ships per ISD. 66 times 25,000 ISDs nets you less then 2 million ships.
Do you get my point? We saw that many Galaxies, not because they are common in the fleet, but because the mission was that important.
Besides, isnt there a quote from Roddenbery out there that says how many GCS's there are?
