Good question... The ''Chandeleur'' comes from a reference that gives the service years in unambiguous Earth years, and in fact lists this vessel as disappearing in 2137. Since the date does not conflict with modern Trek dating, this is how the entry should read as well. In contrast, the ''Balboa'' comes from a novel where the years are somewhat at odds with modern dating, and the year for the disappearance of that vessel is not given explicitly. While I originally intended the ''Chandeleur'' to merely be the first ''Durance'' to disappear, not necessarily the first Earth ship or other asset, it would not be a problem to say that she also went down slightly before the ''Balboa''. | |||
However, neither of these losses would be known to be to the Romulans at the time. The loss of the starliner ''Diana'' would in this version of Trek history (and in the Spaceflight Chronology) be the first one immediately attributed to the Romulans. --[[User:Timo|Timo]] 14:58, 11 March 2008 (GMT+3) | |||

Who went first?
In the Durance article, it says, "USS Chandeleur (FR-263) was the first to fall to an attack by the forces of the Rihannsu people, expanding to meet the people who had intruded their space." However, "2130-2161 - Into The Romulan War" and the Messier article indicate the first offensive action was against USS Balboa in 2132. Would it be more correct to state that the loss of USS Chandeleur was the first one known (at the time) to be a result of Romulan aggression? And, if so, what year did it occur? --Dan 12:39, 6 March 2008 (PST)

Visit to Romulas when?
Related question: Both the Messier article and "2130-2161 - Into The Romulan War" mention a visit (supposedly to Romulas) by USS Carrizal. When did this occur? --Dan 12:39, 6 March 2008 (PST)
730 or 750?
The data for the DY series indicates the existance for a DY-750, while the text mentions a subclass referred to as a DY-730. Is the former a mistake for the latter? --Dan 19:32, 8 March 2008 (PST)
