If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval

I see where you’re coming from. The Defiant-Class are definitely a purposefully designed “Warship” and the first Starfleet has made in a long time at that point. Yeah I concede the point. I look at a ship like the Galaxy-Class with its phaser arrays etc and I think warship but it was built and designed during a time of peace, Starfleet wouldn’t have viewed it as a warship.
It’s an exploration ship… that’s almost big enough to qualify as a mobile starbase given the civilian population. Having armaments isn’t stupid, especially given how often they rejiggered the phasers to act as a tool rather than a weapon.
