For real though, I get goosebumps every time they come up with some novel use for the navigational deflector and save the day.

OC in that I made it just now, but it’s very likely not the first time this comparison has been made.

    It’s pretty handy. From Memory Alpha:

    Ensign Beckett Mariner used radiation from the main deflector in combination with parizene gas to reverse the partial transformation of the USS Cerritos by terraforming emulsion in 2380. (LD: “Moist Vessel”)
