"She may have flaws, but she has teeth"

She is overpowered officially designated an escort, although unofficially a warship, in other words she is a Frigate with the armaments of a medium cruiser
The Defiant-class was specifically designed to counter the Borg. Soon after the first vessel was completed however several design flaws caused Starfleet to suspend the project. Among the flaws was the fact that the Defiant's engines were overpowered relative to the size of the ship – so much so that the Defiant nearly "tore itself apart" during its shakedown cruise
could you imagine a fleet of Defiant class ships!
