Sure it is. It has the smallest target profile of any Star Trek ship, particularly from the front or rear, and among the best weapons and shielding.

The Defiant is a torpedo boat, really. It's meant to charge straight at the target while spewing torps at it. And for that purpose, its forward-fixed armament and very thin forward profile are perfectly suited.

if i wanted to blow up any trek ship, id come alongside in a runabout and beam a nuke right into the engineering section :D
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil
