374 of these very successful ships have so far been built Fleet-wide. Usually carried by various space stations and Starbases, and some Starships, these vessels, nicknamed 'Runabouts' are primarily deployed in similar capacities as executive shuttles, though Danube's weapons, shields and propulsion systems are far in advance of regular shuttles. Normally used for short range recon, and transport, though of limited numbers, they're very handy for fast and convenient transport over interplanetary and limited interstellar distances. Quick, sleek, and highly manoeuvrable, they're an excellent addition to the fleet. A few are listed.

Footnote*
-Although all the Runabouts we know are named after Earth's rivers, at Captain Sisko's whim, it is unlikely that the remainder of the Danube fleet spreading throughout the Federation are similarly named....

*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.
The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon. For an explanation on the specs, and what the Ship designations mean, see Spec Definitions.
