Danube Class Runabout review

The Danube-class, also known as a Runabout-class, was a type of Federation runabout in operation during the latter half of the 24th century.
All runabouts assigned to Deep Space 9 were named after rivers on Earth. The Danube-class was first commissioned by Starfleet in 2368 as a small, short-range interstellar craft.
The following year, the space station Deep Space 9 took on three runabouts for use in their daily operations: the USS Ganges, the USS Yangtzee Kiang, and the USS Rio Grande. They were transported to the station aboard the USS Enterprise and were housed within the landing bays situated around the habitat ring.
