Star Trek: 10 Most Powerful Ships

[@kmoore02809]

Two major omissions: the Sovereign class Enterprise E and the Reman warbird Scimitar.

[@rhob2422]

Should have another list of "Hero Ships" that there was only 1 of or we only saw once. Schimitar, Narada, The Shrike, Voth City Ship, Krenim Timeship, Borg Tactical Cube, V'Ger?, General Changs Bird of Prey, any others?

[@firstcynic92]

Just 2 omissions? I know of a lot more than that.

[@Ingram124]

The Prometheus from Voyager's "Message in a bottle" :)@@rhob2422

[@TokoGT]

True. Though the D doesn't have any blind spots, the Enterprise E also has saucer separation (not shown) and quantum torpedoes which are MUCH more powerful than photons. And it took the Enterprise E to crash into the Scimitar in order to disable it! Borg Tatical Cube being the strongest of Borg vessels. And I would replace the Jem Hadar fighter with the 8472 bioship that are capable of decimating planets. USS Vengeance is from a parallel timeline and The Doomsday Machine isn't (canonically) a ship, but a robot.

[@cirdecsongs]

Exactly what I was gonna say.

[@Freddie1988]

I believe you missed Species 8472 Bioships…?

[@vic5015]

This list should've been 25 or 30 entries.

[@hornm67]

Yes that even can take out a borg cube.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

Yeah, that ship bodied the Borg without breaking a sweat.

[@tetravega567]

[@Nobody-11B]

Not a well thought out video.

[@brianlilly7849]

This felt more like a most powerful ships in DS9

[@vic5015]

Well, technically, the Borg made 0 appearance in DS9.

[@js3599]

@@vic5015 You forget the battle of Wolf 359 in the beginning of the series premiere... It may have been a flashback... But they still appeared in DS9... Not to mention the impact they had on Ben and Jake Sisko...

[@ChiefCharly]

By Jem'Hadar's suicide attack, DS9 established Galaxy class as equal or perhaps no match for Jem'Hadar fighter. Yet they have is a big difference on the list.

[@CollideFan1]

Well DS9 had a war going on through the series unlike the others

[@vintvarner16]

You are right, with these it's mostly Voyager, DS9...very rarely do they have TOS

[@ghoul2u]

What about Species 8472 bio ships? Not only did they cut thru Borg cubes like paper, they were able to destroy a planet by combining the energy of only eight ships.

[@ian0608]

Came here to say this

[@jasonwestwood7092]

That's because all assimilated Borg Planets are protected by Auto regenerative multi Adaptive shielding otherwise 1 could.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

Voth mothership ???

[@Aragorn7884]

I know this list is subjective, but GD is it wildly off. Galaxy _over_ Sovereign?! 😮

Exactly. This list is maybe "most powerful ships in the galaxy in 2370".

[@deathangel4214]

you'd almost think they plan on making another video like this or something lol

[@Olochgu]

Prometheus class anyone? maybe Sovereign class? no? ok...

[@manuelbrunner1563]

I always wonder what the worth of the Prometheus was....I Must be rather complicated to maintain. And what is the worth of having three weaker ships instead of one strong. The tactical use of that feature seems to be rather limited.

[@nick.ferris]

"Here is a list of ten ships that'll drive the comments section mad."

[@jasonjimerson7046]

😂

[@Aztec2250]

Right! I’m surprised more people aren’t savvy to how engagement works today.

[@BalloonJunkie]

A lot was missed. Sovern class ships, the bioships of Species 8472c the Scimitar, and who could forget the Prometheus. The experimental starship that split up into 3 pieces and defended itself during an attack?

[@Steve157Oh]

The Prometheus was a prototype, wasn't it? That's the only reason I can think why it's not included.

[@drethaldier]

@@Steve157Oh But it went into service non-the less otherwise why would it be in the final scene of Voyager which is years after it was first build.

[@Steve157Oh]

@@drethaldier Oh, was it in the final? In that case, yeah - where's Prometheus in this list?!

[@ijmad]

Soo many missing off this list. Klingon Negh'var class dreadnaught Romulan/Reman Scimtar class Warbird USS Prometheus USS Enterprise-F (Odyssey class) USS Vengeance (Kelvin universe) ISS Charon The Shrike Gomtuu Species 8472 Bioship Species 6339 Warship Voth city ship Krenim Imperium Weapon Ship Devore Warship Husnock Warship V'Ger Fesarius of the First Federation Some of these were one-offs, which I guess you might not count, but a few of them had enough screen time to see their relative power!

Not to mention the Texas Class!

[@ijmad]

@@rakaydosdraj8405 and the Pakled Clumpship!

[@VladamireD]

Heck, the planet-eating Doomsday Machine from TOS "The Doomsday Machine" didn't make it on the list either and they showed that! Antiproton beams, a tractor beam, and a hull of solid neutronium. Took flying and detonating a Constitution-class starship in it's very maw to stop one.

[@vintvarner16]

I would another one USS Reliant, only because Khan hijacked the ship and The Genesis Device. I know it was a one time only but imagine if would won

[@Tricky117]

This list is surely rage bait no? Surely 😅 Where is the Scimitar? Voth city ship? V-Ger!?

[@chill_will9816]

Plot armor is best armor lol. How else does the Rotarran makes this list

[@Yaeri2]

The voth ship was the first I thought of, the second was that alien probe in star trek 4.

[@CollideFan1]

That alien vessel from Star Trek 4. It deactivated any vessel that came near it. Probably could do more if it was provoked.

[@GeekWorldOrder]

No Species 8472 bioship? You know that thing that can tear through a Borg cube like it's nothing.

[@kevinroth2900]

Not to mention destroy a planet by linking 8 ships

[@johnnyb1936]

Consistently counts off weapon systems on these ships, but the one with 52 disrupters and 27 torpedo launchers is nowhere to be found

[@tails0420ify]

I missed the part about the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship. Could anybody point me to its timestamp?

[@DaveMiller2]

You need temporal technology to see that clip.

[@PassiveSmoking]

It had a glass jaw. Without its temporal weapons and shielding it was extremely vulnerable to conventional 24th century weapons.

[@tails0420ify]

@PassiveSmoking Are you talking about the ship that took down 5 ships and voyager? With its conventional weapons. Wasn't it still in one price after janeway rammed it? If she hadn't hit the temporal core, the ship would have been fine.

[@TrekCannon]

Ok Trek culture, I keep thinking u guys are gonna at least consult with a bro before u make these lists. Yep everyone included bishops but the no First Federation Ship? No tin man? No temporal ships? No dinosaur ships? Smh 😂

[@matthewhostetter8974]

The Akira class will always be my favorite ship no matter what. I've also always loved the Jemmy ships and the Defiant. This is why one of my favorite ships in STO right now, is a ship that is a hybrid of both the Jem'hadar Fighter and the Defiant. Also always loved the Enterprise-D "Dreadnaught" from All Good Things and its Phase Cannon.

[@watcherzero5256]

Lot of omissions: Species 8472 bioships, the dinosaurs from Earth, the android ships from Voy ep Prototype, The Dooomsday Machines, Sovereign class, Krellan Timeships, the Aquatic Xindi ships, the Scimitar (though that was a one off)

[@Eucep]

Sadly we have no idea how the Voth (the dino's) fight and how powerful they would be (outside sto), but considering they just beamed over an entire starship, yeh their offensive capabilities may dwarf everything but V-Ger.

Prometheus class, Sovereign class, Akira class,Steamrunner class,Species 8472 Bioship, Krenim warship and many more that I can’t be bothered to name. I’m not to sure about the accuracy of this list….but it was enjoyable 😊

[@chrismurphy5629]

Scimitar vs Shrike.... I'd love to see that.

[@ellesadil5372]

I have seen multiple people mention V-Ger, in and of itself V-Ger was not a starship, it was a satelite that crashed / entered an alien civilization's sphere of influence who then determined what V-Ger's programming was, they themselves built an entire construct around V-Ger and then sent it back on it's way to earth to deliver all that it had learned during it's journey back to it's creator, so in reality V-Ger had no propulsion and or weapons itself, it was the construct that moved V-Ger and protected it. At least that is my interpretation of what happened.

[@matthewfisher2707]

Haven't even started this and I'll take the "little" Defiant.

[@rhob2422]

Too subjective. 10 is not large enough for this list, so many ships are about the same or just marginally better. How is a Galaxy class more powerful than a Sovereign class? No mention of a Vor'Cha class but a Bird of Prey? I can understand not listing the Akira class because we never saw it properly implemented on screen. No Prometheus class though? The Galor class does not even deserve a spot on the list, they were easily outclassed by a Nebula or Galaxy class.

[@1701Bec]

No whale ship thing. The ship that can completely turn off a starship by just flying near it

[@kevinm.7209]

Yes! Definitely do a video on the 32nd century ships!

[@claireburr3718]

the end made me hungry!

[@firstcynic92]

An incomplete list of ships more powerful than those listed, only going up through the TNG era (including movies). This list is in no specific order. Feel free to add to it. Sovereign class Prometheus class Scimitar class Voth city ship Species 8472 battleship Husnock battleship Borg tactical cube Nomad V'Ger The whale probe

[@Snowwie88]

Dreadnought class, USS Vengeance. One beast of a ship. But how about the Enterprise J, seen in Star Trek Enterprise? That ship was even taller (in length) than a Borg Cube.... 🙂

[@Eirewolf]

Nice to see the D but I prefer the weapons systems on the Enterprise-E. Ok. I just prefer the Enterprise-E! 😀🖖

[@AndyAshworth-h6w]

it was not worfs fault

[@DrOneOneOne]

The Cardassian Galor Class was an outdated ship before the Dominion War started. In the TNG episode "The Wounded", the Enterprise disables a Galor's shields with a handful of phaser hits, but what clinches it is that Picard is frankly more curious why they attacked than worried, and he tells Worf to limit his fire to disable them. Once the Enterprise's shields are raised, Picard knows the threat is largely over.

[@ViroVV]

Scimitar, Vengeance, Oberth, Undine bioships. Quite a few, honestly.

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

The Jem'Hadar Fighter..And Galaxy Class? Wth.... NO *Sovereign Class, NO Excelsior Class/Lakota Upgrade, Tamarian Cruiser(OWNED the Ent. D) and the BROKEN Scimitar of Course!*

[@lancemeenachmeenach5707]

8472 bio ships for sure, Voth city ship, Krenim temporal ship, Xindi sphere weapon ship, Enterprise J, USS Prometheus and Relativity

[@arbjbornk]

I would include the Domesday Machine (Planet Killer).

[@IanKeenan-ot5wi]

Fun fact, the IKS Rotarran, was a K'Vort Class Battlecruiser, the Bird of Prey you saw in Star Trek III, IV, V is the smaller B'Rel Class Scout!

[@Daedalus-BC308]

The Galaxy class doesn't get enough credit for how insanely powerful it can be if it's tuned to focus on combat. It wasn't mentioned in DS9, iirc, but the Dominion war Galaxies came out of the dock yard with about 50% of their innards empty since all of the unnecessary components were either taken out on not installed at all. This left the Galaxy to be an excellent battleship-carrier hybrid and a command vessel, packing even more punch than the standard Galaxy class.

[@chip9298]

Annorax’s ship could erase an entire civilization from time itself, so I’m gonna go with that.

[@VideoNinjaJim]

Hmm most powerful ship... Gets taken down by a Flower 😅 Also by Over sleeping

[@highallmighty233]

The intrepid class by this logic should be number 1 cause they destroyed how many cubes?

[@simondavidwooliscroft7673]

As well as the Sovereign Class Enterprise E and the Species 8472 Bioships I was surprised the Renegade Borg Ship wasn't included. All the enterprise Ds weapons scored direct hits without damaging it at all. It was only destroyed eventually by a solar flare.

[@Paul__FC]

Well done. Yes there is other ships to consider but everyone has an opinion.

[@Utubesuperstar]

Nah fam this list is just dumb lmao. They’re putting ships in that are shown to be outclassed by omitted ones

Sovereign-class, Prometheus, Scimitar, 8472 Bioship, Assimilated Voyager (Scorpion, Part II; The Gift) are all clear-cut omissions.

[@nuck97]

10 doesn't do this list justice. You could pick 10 very powerful Starfleet classes alone.

[@bkthrill]

In the TOS era the Klingon K'tinga Class warship was the most powerful.

[@psygrimlock]

3 missing ships from this list: the Reman Scimitar from Nemesis. The Akira class, which took on Romulan D'deridex in ST:Voyager and just smiled while doing it (Message in a Bottle). That showed off the Akira's capability better than First Contact did.

[@user-roninwolf1981]

The Jem'Hadar "fighters" are actually called the Jem'Hadar Attack Ships. The Jem'Hadar DO have "fighters" but those were smaller, much more comparable in size to the Peregrine-Class fighters and the Danube-Class Runabouts. The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship was a larger vessel, roughly the size of a frigate or a small escort, like the Defiant-Class, the B'rel Bird-Of-Prey, and the T'Varo Light Warbird.

[@tkskagen]

🖖 Simon, you have the ABSOLUTE BEST Star Trek channel ever! Never be scared of the haters.

[@miriam4235]

I realise we know too little about it to feature in the video, but immediately thought of the ship of the dinosaur race in Voyager: Distant Origins. I wouldn't be surprised if they could annihilate a Borg cube like it was nothing. 🦖

[@StephenLeGresley]

Great video as always guys but iI would've made some changes: I would've out the Soverign Class ship on there (They literally say in the film that it's the most advanced ship at the time) Species 8472 ships can blow up planets and Borg cubes. The USS Titans took on three heavily armed Pakled ships and wrecked them. The Texas Class ships took out a Soverign class vessel along with the Cerritos and survived a war core detonation. Speaking of which the Doomsday Weapon from TOS should be on there as it is technically a ship. Shinzon's Scimitar took on both the Enterprize-e and A Romulan warbird at the same time and pummelled both ships. The upgraded Voyager from Endgame should be on there as it was also able to go toe to toe with the Borg. And lastly the USS Prometheus which was able to split into three ships and become its own mini fleet to fight an enermy.

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

The Pakleds were never a threat to a top of the line federation ship. But as scavangers, they weren't going AFTER top of the line ships. They were going after TOS era Mirandas and Excelsiors, explodium Oberths, and Californias.

[@StephenLeGresley]

@@rakaydosdraj8405 Still taking on three of them loaded up with weapons from all over the quadrant is a decent showing.

[@cjbasala]

I kept thinking The Shrike or the Texas Class was going to show up at some point but they never did.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

I think you should flip the Romulan Warbird and the Galaxy class. Warbird in universe is reported to be more powerful than the Galaxy class. It also has the cloaking device, which gives it a huge advantage.

[@Sylraxi]

Sovereign? 8472 Bioships? TACTICAL CUBE? NARADA???

[@winksmith]

On Voyager, they transferred the Doctor to another ship which was ridiculously overpowered. Species 6821 (or whatever it was) on Voyager had ships that were ridiculously overpowered. Again, on Voyager, the time machine kept and entire section of space, if not the Galaxy, under constant control all they fiddled with spacetime.

[@MitchMitchellStories]

I've never thought about asking this before, but what about some of the ships in the Star Trek reboots? In the first 2 movies, they had some ships that were almost indestructible, the first movie the Romulans and in the second Starfleet. Maybe you don't count the 3 rebooted movies as Star Trek, but there should be a mention somewhere.

[@mfsoab]

I'd take a Defiant class or Bird of Prey all day! Just some tough, reliable and elegant ships! NX-01 would also be nice to have, but just because I like the "rough around the edges low-tech" approach contrasting previously seen iterations of humanity in Star Trek

[@peterburghart3059]

The Sovereign class isn’t here? I love you guys but a both the Jem’Hadar fighter and the Galor Class?

[@greyshadow9498]

I know the Galaxy Class is more "Iconic" but the Sovereign Class is superior in every way. The Scimitar, it was packed with weapons and shields. The only reason it lost to the Enterprise E (the most powerful ship in the fleet) is because they let Deanna drive.

[@Ingram124]

You've definitely missed a few out there! The Sovereign class is more powerful than the Galaxy, you've also got the Nebula class which can be outfitted for either science or combat. The Prometheus with it's multi vector assault mode, also i'd wager the intrepid should be on this list considering what Voyager pulled off.

[@mxg75]

The Galaxy class is glass jawed. If the enemy finds a way around the shields, they do not last very long in combat at all. See the destruction of the Odyssey and the Enterprise-D for two examples. The Yamato only survived a year or two of service, too, though it was lost to a computer virus.

[@leopyrofox]

Are we going to forget about the prometheus class? Tore apart a dominion era Nebula class and a couple of warbirds. I guess so

[@Daehawk]

D'Deridex was my favorite ship until the Valdore blew it away with its lines.

[@Spikebert]

Maybe no spec for it, but I'd bet the Enterprise J would be top of the list based on the likelihood of technological advances and use the astoundingly amazing Hyperbolic Torpedoes and Turbo Phasers. iirc the Defiant class had the same firepower as a Galaxy class, and being more maneuverable should be above the Galaxy. The D'Deridex should also be above the Galaxy I believe, though I don't remember any formal specs on it and the apparently newer Valdor (whatever the class) might be an improvement over the D'D. Many have already mentioned other one-off ships, Scimitar, Narada, Voth, and a few others. One I'll add is the giant Fesarius from the Corbomite Maneuver.

[@JeffreyTappan-bb8rr]

Wondering how a Defiant-class shop would stack up against a White Star from B5.

[@AndersonNeo12]

The Pralor vessel from the Voyager Episode "Prototype" basically disabled Voyager in 10 seconds. The hive ship from the Voyager episode "Distant Origins," etc. It's a nice list, but i agree with the comments section. A part 2 or a reboot for this list could be a good idea

[@BrianD0313]

I'm amazed Species 8472 didn't beat out the Cube. I'd assume the Sovereign was more powerful than a Galaxy class.

[@zoltanattilanagy5778]

I'd rank the Defiant over the D'Deridex and the Galaxy classes. The Sovereign class also belongs to this list, I'd rank it just under the Borg Cubes, makint it the 2nd best (or the 3rd if you include the Scimitar). Great list anyway!

[@ayethe4603]

[@dinomonzon7493]

Sean's comment that "Sometimes, its more about the pilot than the ship itself", echoes what Captain James T. Kirk told Kate Janeway in the Star Trek novel "Dark Victory" by William Shatner: "You don't have to defeat the ship. Just the man." Glad that the USS Defiant and IKS Negh'Var made the list, but the Constitution class Starship should've been cited as well. Why? As Captain Kirk noted to Anan-7 in A Taste of Armaggedon, after ordering Scotty to invoke Starfleet General Order 24- "The Enterprise will Destroy Eminiar VII." 'Nuff said. 🖖
