This is the issue I had with the initial premise. Yes, the TARDIS survived the Time War. That is not to say it participated in the Time War, only that it survived. That is has defensive systems doesn't mean it's a warship or could participate in a war. It could be present. Yes, the TARDIS could win against a Bird of Prey, though not through weapons, through tactics and that would be on the part of the pilot. The Doctor could Sam Carter style destablise a sun and destroy the Bird of Prey. Or demat/remat around the ship and take drop it into a big vat of custard. Neither would technically be acting as a warship in the conventional sense.
