Why did starfleet have some ships that had all vulcan crews, like the intrepid, hera (mostly vulcan crew), and t'kumbra? Isn't that kind of xenophobic, racist, and discriminatory towards other species?
Also, instead of any starfleet ships having all vulcan crews, why wouldn't the vulcans just use vulcan ships, and dress in vulcan uniforms, if vulcans are a member of the federation?
Maybe I'll treat y'all to your favorite beverages next time.
One would imagine that Starfleet also has an Orthodontia division, right? To compliment Starfleet Dental, who knows if some people still require braces and, later, retainers in the future? We may not have seen anyone with such yet, but it's something to consider, if you ask me. (This comes from someone who used to have braces and later had a retainer, b.t.w.).
Could morgan bateson, his ship, and crew have been returned to their own time in 2278 from 2368 using the sun slingshot effect, or other time travel methods? If so, why did they stay in 2368 instead of returning to their own time in 2278 (with starfleet's permission, of course)?

Why do starfleet officers and federation citizens always note things in their logs and diaries?
The United Federation of Planets is evil and it has Neytiri, Skeleckians, and Gamora in it, and they won't win the galaxy. Let's defeat the United Federation of Planets together. Starfleet's evil will not be tolerated. Let's vanquish Neytiri and Starfleet.

With the reformed Borg Collective and Starfleet's vessels harmonizing their respective deflector shields together to fend off the neutrino beam from the mysterious transwarp conduit, and Jurati's Borg Queen requesting provisional membership to monitor it, it kinda makes one wonder who's on its other side. While it was great to see The Next Generation crew reunite and work alongside both Seven of Nine and Raffi Musiker, a small part of me was kind of somewhat disappointed that season 3 didn't at all delve into the nature of the conduit and who built it. Because Borg Agnes believed the conduit to constitute a potential threat, it made me scratch my head wondering who or what it could be, and what its ramifications could be. If anything, I'd like to see the potential Star Trek: Legacy series delve into it since season 3 of Picard did not.

I’d like to see a new series of Holodeck stories that a Federation crewman would design that would take real races from all over the Star Trek universe and have their alliances reimagined. I.e. Cardassians becoming Starfleet or Bajoran space being taken over by the Romulan Empire or the Cardassian Union going to war with the Romulan Empire and maybe have Starfleet utilizing Dominion cloning technology to brood their own Jem’Hadar but with no “White” addiction and their genetic structure being repaired so that they could seamlessly join the Federation in times like needing rapid reinforcements or to develop a quick Starfleet crew to take over Alien ships or filling in replacement crew positions in emergencies.

After watching this video regarding the U.S.S. Reliant - https://youtu.be/wjygYal9ZZc?si=SWEnmD07GeHq0Gt0 - a friend of mine got an idea for a story behind said ship possibly being a warship. It could explain why the Reliant has warship-like features even though Starfleet claims it isn't. He thinks that more far-right members like Admiral Cartwright feared that war with the Klingon Empire was imminent so they used their influence in Starfleet to construct more militaristic starship vessels to prepare the Federation for such a conflict, as well as political manipulation to not give the Reliant outright offensive weaponry so Starfleet could still maintain their peaceful nature without raising suspicion that they were militarizing. Furthermore, with such themes explored in The Undiscovered Country, some Starfleet officers are willing to commit acts of treason and terrorism, so it's possible for Star Trek to show flaws in its society without losing its idealistic and optimistic message.

My question is: are there any other example of rechristened Federation Ships in the series? I cannot recall any by myself.
