  • Most likely one of the ships could not rendezvous with the fleet before the battle.

    @Boelabaal Yes that would be the enterprise. However, the Admiral states that he has mobilized a fleet of 40 ships. Mobilized is past tense(or more like past participle in this sense). The verb mobilize means they're already there. The 40 are already present, Riker is sorry he couldn't be there with the 40 already present, which would make the Enterprise number 41.

    "Just how many of our ships were lost? Thirty nine?" Satie may have just been baiting him too. Throw a lowball number out there to make him think a bit more, begging for a correction. Commented Apr 10, 2015 at 19:27

    Satie is a spoiled troll "ranting with near-hysteria", who let "manifest symptoms of monomania", "admitted no wrongdoing or apology and kept her haughty composure." Take any information from her with a grain of salt.
