The U. With a total of 42 decks, the Enterprise -D was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution -class ships of over a century earlier. She carried a combined crew and passenger load of 1, Defensive systems included 10 phaser banks, photon torpedoes , and a high capacity shield grid; there are some 4, power systems in all aboard ship. Full acceleration time from reverse, sub-light impulse through nominal top warp speed, warp 9, was 0.
The ship achieved maximum speed of warp 9. By Stardate , she had already logged tens of thousands of light-years since setting out around Stardate An average day aboard ship, according to Lieutenant Commander Data , included four birthdays, two personnel transfers, two chess tournaments, a secondary school play, four promotions, the celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights — and a birth and wedding. Some 13 planets were represented among the ship's complement as of Stardate During the Borg incursion of , Decks were sliced open by the enemy during the final battle over Earth and requiring a refit at Earth Station McKinley which lasted weeks.
It was far less damage than the kamikaze warp-driven collision Commander Riker had readied as one last recourse, however. Ask Question. Asked 5 years, 10 months ago. Active 5 years, 10 months ago.

Thank you for that, it was part of my confusion actually. Since in one episode the saucer section goes into battle, which I found contrary, that's why I was wondering.
So that is probably just a continuity issue right? The battle is always done from the bottom half. Lieutenant Commander Leland T. Lynch played by Walker Boone was serving in this position at the time. This character had the strange habit of saying his full name when answering or placing a call on the intercom.
In the Star Trek Encyclopedia he is said to be an assistant chief engineer, however his rank is too high for an assistant. It is possible that all these four officers were serving as chief engineer of the Enterprise at the same time in This line may have been added on purpose in the episode, to explain the fact of why a new actor was coming in to play the role.
An obvious possibility in the case of Logan is that he may have been transferred off the Enterprise due to his arrogant attitude and Lynch took over for him in time for the next episode. This would reduce the number of simultaneous chief engineers to three, or perhaps only two if we surmise that MacDougal may have been present only for a couple of weeks after the ship's launch. Owing to the sheer size of a Galaxy-class vessel we could imagine that there are multiple engineering departments, each of which is headed by a chief engineer.
There may be a chief engineer for the power network, one for the warp engines, one for the computers and sensors, and so an. However, such a diversification of engineering responsibilities was never mentioned in TNG. All chief engineers had the same job title, and their office was in main engineering. A conjectural reason why there was more than one chief engineer in could be the fact that the Galaxy class was not only very big but also brand new, full of problems and needed constant attention by experienced engineering expertise and leadership.
Besides the chief engineer, Starfleet also has the role of an assistant chief engineer. This seems to be a deputy chief engineer who takes the place of the chief engineer during his or her absence, rather than a mere assistant.
