Defiant question

Reliant

I was just wondering if the Defiant had a small halo deck or some kind of halo lab like in the one Voyager episode. I have watched most of the episodes with the Defiant and don't remember seeing one. I would not think so in a ship with only 4 decks, but I was just wondering to make sure.
 
I don't think the Defiant had a holodeck, no. They certainly never showed one on the series. And I don't remember seeing one when I studied the deck plans.
 
I remember them having a holo-communications device for one episode, but that's about it.

I don't remember them ever mentioning a holo-deck or the like for the Defiant.
 
The whole point of the Defiant was to be a dedicated warship. Look at the crew quarters, the mess hall, and the bridge. It's really been stripped of anything unnecessary, and a holodeck would definitely fall under that considering its size and mission profile.

Only after Starfleet won the exclusive contract with Xbox after the Dominion War.
 
Defiant was outfitted with none of the luxury items (i.e. Holodecks) of the larger Starships.
 
...Which meant they had to do their infantry combat drills in the Engine Room in "To the Death". A holodeck would have been a very valuable military training tool; I'd think it was dropped from the design not because it was "civilian luxury" but because the ship was intended to be a testbed that didn't really even need a sickbay.
