Several Galaxy wings were included in the fleet assembled by Captain Benjamin Sisko for Operation Return in 2374. In the opening stages of the battle, after Gul Dukat deliberately opened a gap in the Dominion lines, Sisko ordered Galaxy wings 9-1 and 9-3 to engage the Galor-class destroyers Dukat had positioned to outflank the Starfleet forces. Sisko subsequently observed that the USS Magellan and the USS Venture were staying too close to the fleet's starboard flank. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
