I wonder why one would want to retrieve Voyager. 1) I think Larry Niven (who, among other things, invented a race a spare-faring carnivores called the Kzinti) once described the Voyager plaque (the one with the naked man and woman) as a "galactic 'eat here' sign." 2) Prevent it from returning as V'ger. 3) Keep the Klingons from shooting it. Though it seems to me that in the 2200s it would still be deep in Federation space, where Klingon disruptor fire might be detectable and unwelcome. Of course, with FTL ships, it would have been trivial to recover once detected.
