Constitution Class, Dominion War Fleet
This is not the best quality picture but take a look and tell me what you think. A guy I enjoy 'debating' the ins and outs of trek with sent me this image and he maintains it is absolute proof that a Constitution class was used in the Dominion War... I can see tiny resemblence but I hardly think this picture is anywhere near the quality/clarity needed to confirm it... anyone know which episode this is so I might get a DVD screengrab?

The episode is "Favor the Bold."
The ship looks like an Akira-class to me. Supposedly their are a few Constitution's in the closing shot of the fleet in the episode "A Call to Arms."

Though I do see the original Valiant/Defiant concept model, didnt realise they used that.

WRT the pic in the OP, if that is supposed to be a Connie, it has to be inverted relative to the rest of the fleet for the visuals to even remotely make sense, and that's ignoring the fact that the Warp nacelles are way too short and to far removed from the primary hull (which might be blamed on the picture quality).
I'm heavily inclined to say 'no'.

'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

A ship with the same apearence can be seen further to the left as well. It looks much more like the Steamrunner. http://www.ditl.org/hedship.php?fedsteamrunner (image buttons at the top of the linked page)

I think I see what some people might mistake as a Connie, Jon.
It's a Steamrunner, but does kind of look like a Connie, unless you look at it closely.
As for the supposed Connie in the first picture, probably just a fanboy's pipedream. As much as I and probably many others would love to see the Constitutions kicking much Dominion ass, it just couldn't and wouldn't happen. The ships are just too old and would more than likely be too expensive to upgrade to modern standards.
