Isn't one of the central thoughts of Star Trek "what if we could have something like a 18th century (*) navy.... in space"? Why would you want to invert that formula if it results in something we already had long before Star Trek?

For fun.

Oh, right. I forgot. Star Trek fans don't believe in fun. Excuse me while I return to doing solemn and thoughtful tasks which totally does not include watching Lower Decks.

Oh, right. I forgot. Star Trek fans don't believe in fun.

Only the right kind of fun.

But of course, Trekkies end up in endless arguments trying to determine which kind of fun is the acceptable kind of fun.
