So did the Prometheus Fight in the Dominion War?

[C.E. Evans]

Not canonically, but the ship may have seen some action during the final year of the conflict...and then destroyed in action when the multivector whatever failed at a crucial moment.

 

[Jono]

Technically the answer is yes, but it was against the Romulans.

The books, which aren't canon, suggest the class did enter production during the war as new Prometheus class vessels start turning up within three months of the war ending.

 

[Skywalker]

I can see Starfleet wanting to get it into combat ASAP considering its capabilities would be a huge help to the war effort, especially after being successfully (albeit unintentionally) battle-tested in "Message in a Bottle."

 

[G2309]

They'd use all their best ships in the fight. It's a shame we didn't see it but I guess the Defiant had to be the hero ship.

 

[Saquist]

I doubt it went into production...
Likely too costly to produce rather than make 5 or 6 of the Defiant Class.

It's about weapons systems that work. Defiant is proven and superior....less materials.
The Federation was losing the war and it's really unclear how they suddenly won the war when the rhetoric was that they were not going to win. With the Dominion having 30,000 plus ship assets and an unlimited supply of soliders...the only reason the Federation was in the war as long as it was is likely because of it's own standing fleet and a mothball fleet

Prometheus wouldn't make a difference there...
Same goes for the massive Sovereign and Galaxy
Defiant would.
That's why they started producing them BEFORE war broke out. (smart move)

 

[KNH]

It's clearer when you remember the prophets just whisked what, half the dominion fleet out of existence inside the wormhole?

 

[Rarewolf]

It shows up in Endgame, so survived the war, or at least a ship of that class did.

 

[JarodRussell]

Prometheus and Enterprise-E had the same missions...

 

[Saquist]

Prometheus and Enterprise-E had the same missions...

That's funny.

 

[T'Girl]

Prometheus and Enterprise-E had the same missions...

Space superiority, we never saw or heard of a Sovereign or a Prometheus destroyed in battle, the Defiant got pwned.

 

[Timo]

Defiant is proven and superior....less materials.

Do we even know that? It might be much more expensive to build a Defiant than it is to build a Sovereign, considering how many "special" solutions the smaller ship features. As per the tech books, both ships might feature ablative armor, but only the smaller one would have it in tactically decisive amounts - and perhaps it's more expensive than anything else used in shipbuilding?

We saw only a tiny handful of Defiants in the war, in fact roughly as many as we saw Prometheus components...
