How many evasive maneuvers are there

There was the Zetarian squeeze at Donatu (Aridas')
The Gorn Anchor, The Kaufman Retrograde, etc.--all from SFB
 
Evasive maneuver pattern Delta looked really bad ass on a Defiant class ship. Two Jem'hadar ships come up behind him, then Nog pulls the Defiant up hard and punches full impulse until he loops back around on the Jem'hadar's 6 and lines up a perfect shot for Worf to blast him away with phasers.

On a Galaxy class ship, pattern Delta is just to slow down and let the Galor class warship pass you by and then let Worf blast his 6 with phasers again

I guess pattern delta just means to get behind the enemy and shoot him in the ass.

Just about everything looked more badass on the Defiant. But then, it probably helps that it was a small, fast ship conceived of as basically a combat fighter, while the Enterprise D is substantially larger than a 20th-century aircraft carrier. (Kind of hard to imagine the John C. Stennis doing much in the way of speedy evasive maneuvers...)
 
You should see some pictures of the REAL USS Enterprise. That ship was so overpowered with eight nuclear reactors. When the ship was at Full Ahead, the bow would lift up and the stern squat down just like a speedboat getting on plane. They had to limit it's top speed because during it's first years of operations the forward hull would become damaged from the force of the water against the ship.
Also there's pictures of some of the later Nimitz-class carriers banking hard during shakedown manuevers. Turns they would never do with a full crew and aircraft onboard.
 
Evasive Pattern F. As in "FLEE!...Everybody flee!"
Now if I can just remember what movie that was from.
