"And for being on a 5-year mission, they never seemed too bothered about the number of dead bodies they racked up. At that kind of rate, the ship'd be empty by the end of the first 6 months!"

It's not like they never put into a starbase over the span of those 5 years!!! Every month or so over those 5 years, they put in for shore leave, refueling, repairs, crew reassignments... All the same stuff that any other navy ship does...

Sorry... my geek is showing isn't it!

LOL!!!!!
