'''"For the Uniform." Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.''' 1 Feb. 1997 (prod. # 511, "Stardate 50485.2"). Victor Lobel, dir. Peter Alan Fields, script.

Premise involves a "cascade virus" in the computer of the Defiant, causing "a complete shipwide systems failure." Capt. Sisko takes the Defiant out anyway, and "The running of the Defiant [sic: no italics] without its communications system made it sound like a submarine." From Anna Kaplan, "Deep Space Nine Episode Guide," Cinefantastique 29.6/7 (Nov. 1997): 45, source here, and quoted.
