The Sharlin Class Warcruiser Dogato is a ship of the Minbari Federation's fleet in the fictional Babylon 5 science fiction universe. The Dogato participated in the Battle of Sector 83.
[edit] Battle of Sector 83
In the weeks leading up to the end of 2261, the Shadows began openly attacking the ships of the various younger races. But they were not attacking a certain area of space, which was soon filled with refugee ships. They were planning to attack those ships soon, in order to demoralize their opponents.
In response, Captain John Sheridan and Ambassador Delenn assembled a large fleet of ships from a number of the younger races, and led them to sector 83. Sheridan and Delenn traveled to the site on board the Dogato. Delenn shows him the tactical command center - the large holographic chamber that every Sharlin class ship carries. Delenn tells Sheridan that he'll command the battle from here. He doesn't understand how he'll command the battle with no viewscreens or other controls. Delenn assures him he will once the battle begins.
On board the White Star, Commander Susan Ivanova and Marcus Cole detected the Shadows scout ship in the area. They were able to engage and destroy the scout, but were damaged themselves. Right afterwards, the Shadows came into the area in force. Even though it meant certain detection, they sent the signal to the fleet.
Once the signal was sent, the Dogato and the rest of the fleet jumped into normal space. Once the Dogato enters normal space, the tactical command center displays the area around the ship. Sheridan and Delenn observe the battle and radio orders to the others. Even though the cost was heavy, the younger races were able to drive off the Shadows.
