>To be fair, the Borg got beat by a unified, centralized and streamlined society. Hardly. The Federation is, well, a federation. A loosely collectivized body of disparate groups, each with their own goals but united through a common cause. This was one of the central tenets of TNG; that diversity is strength.

I'd say that Starfleet is pretty unified though. Individual diversity was absolutely strength, but Starfleet was unified, and when it was divided that was major plot points.

  Did Starfleet ever build two ships to the same design?

    Yup. Just thinking off the top of my head in TNG for the Galaxy Class alone there was the the USS Galaxy, USS Enterprise and USS Yamato. There were also a ton more visible during the Dominion War.
