So it will be in terrific shape in a week as if nothing had happened?
Let’s be honest here. Only an incredibly stupid engineer (<cough>musk<cough>) would have access to “replicators”* and not design a star ship which could be entirely replicated, complete with systems fundamentally designed to do so automatically.
In fact, they would probably just power’ the ship with it, and when ever they needed fuel, or mass for repairs, or whatever… stop off at an asteroid or something….
*(don’t get me started on how stupid an engineer would have to be to name a device that fabricates stuff, but not itself a “replicators”- replicators make.l more of themselves. Replicators are Wish Fabricators.)

But replicators can replicate themselves, otherwise the whole DS9 minefield wouldn’t have worked.
Admittedly that’s not their primary function. But they are capable of the activity.
This is why replicators are wish fabricators.
Replicators can only make themselves. Like SG:1 replicators. They themselves might be able to rearrange themselves for differing functions but theu can’t make a mocha latte.
The replicators made ships, human facsimiles, and an entire replication of the ancients city. So they can clearly do more than just self-repeat.

The Chevron 7 people will love to hear that rant. But I imagine the name is because you put something in a dematerializer somewhere, and then the machine can make endless replicas of the original object.
They don’t have to replicate themselves to gain that name, it’s equally applicable to a machine that replicates anything.
Cap’ain! She’s leaking coolan’ from the s’arboard bow!
