They're futuristic fannypacks.
Phased out when currency based economics changed to a credit system.
Did the military ever convert to a non-military system? Asking for a friend.
I don't see a vas deferens.
Beyond human comprehension.
If you have to ask you are not of the body.

Her being hired back makes it proper.
It was an unforced error too. It never makes sense to have starships all next to each other and cuddly like they're waiting for Admiral Nelson to have them start a cannonade, when all it does is make target painting easy.
I know for visual purposes they like to give some sense of scale, but if anything that ruins it, it makes these giant ships look small and inconsequential. Making it a cut and paste fleet just made it look like some throwback to Last Starfighter.
And The Last Starfighter did it so much better and with more personality, and with 1984 CGI.
Hindsight is 20/20, FOMO is another thing to be scared of.
That's why modern day actors sign on for multi-movie deals without even reading a script.
Sam Jackson signed on for a then unprecedented 9 movie deal, didn't hurt his career one bit.
Crosby however I didn't even recognize when she appeared in The Walking Dead. That's how obscure she is now.
Controversial opinion apparently: the fleet made perfect sense to me. And I appreciate a naval professor agreeing with me.

As a kid in the early 80's heavily into The Tomorrow People, I admit I kind of thought of them as jaunting belts.
That's ridiculous. Why the hell should she know at the time, while being disrespected and told not to expect better?
Sam Jackson signs on to anything and rarely says no.
I agree with Crosby given the circumstances. No one should suffer in the name of FOMO.
That's one of the many "Hollywood Tactics" Tropes that Hollywood writers love using.
They treat space battles like the "Age of Sail"
The funny thing is TNG did it better when it had to create that sensor net in the DMZ and every StarShip was spread out in a wide Network.
Given how VAST Space is, you shouldn't be so close to your ally that you can see them, they should be BVR (Beyond Visual Range) and just at the edge of your weapons range so you can have "OverLapping weapons fire."
Given that the ST:TNG Technical Manual says the Galaxy Class has a "Effective Firing Range" with Phasers of ~ 1 Light Second (~300,000 km), that's plenty to be a tiny spec in the distance.
The distance between the surface of Earth & the Moon is ~445,750 km.
So you can be WELL outside "Visual Range" and just a spec that you communicate over sensors and have a giant Over-Lapping Field of fire with your allied vessels.
I was a fan of the 1990's iteration of "The Tomorrow People" & the 2013 CW ReBoot of "The Tomorrow People".
I skimmed it. I had seen it before. Has there ever actually been a time when a significant naval power had a navy made of all ships of the same class? I really don't know, but I doubt it. The closest I think the world has come to a cookie cutter fleet would be the Liberty Ships in WW2, but those were freighters.Controversial opinion apparently: the fleet made perfect sense to me.

That's the thing: I never took it as the whole fleet. It's a fast response task force.
I never thought it was all of Starfleet but a design designed to respond to emergencies and prevent another Mars, Betazed, or Shinzon incursion.
