Can you imagine the modern day equivalent, say an aircraft carrier, sailing the seven seas as a scientific/exploration/diplomatic/military mission with full families and a school full of children and even perhaps a small maternity ward.
Red Alert! Battle Stations! Cancel the music recital and postpone the pancake breakfast until further notice.
They absolutely should have figured out some basic bitch warp drive for the saucer. Pop out nacelles? At some point the D was provided with a runabout, maybe two of those could have extended a warp shell around the saucer? Literally anything would be better than asking it to limp along at sublight speeds.

Yes. Its okay. They can just turn them into instant hostages by separating the saucer section.
That’ll be fine. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
