Courtney,
The ship I went down there on was in pretty good shape. So were lots of others. They all arrived there after a few weeks in good shape. The Navy was (is) actually quite good at keeping their kit in decent shape. The ones that were old still fought a very good fight. Some of them fought an epic fight.
As I remember, the Vulcans were a bit tired. And it took the GR3s quite a few extra weeks to get there. (Damn good job they did once they got there though).
Just trying to keep the facts straight....
Best Regards as ever
