Oh, no you say, well I never have bothered entering into one of these conversations, until I recently just didn't like how the Defiant was nearly the length of a Galaxy Class saucer section...

OK, reference, basically you need a reference, but shock horror, i'm not using any station or starship on screen reference, cause I think those have been pretty buggered up.

Bascially everyone open the back of their upgraded encyclopedias, - go on...

ok, good.

Now I pretty much agree with the ships that are their and their respective lengths, except for the Defiant, and probably the Norway - but the Norway is difficult, seeing as we have rarely seen her...

anyway, the defiant has 4 decks (plus a little padding)

basically the defiant should be about as big as the Grissom's saucer/nacelle area - probably even a little smaller...

probably about twice the lenth of the danube class...

the defiant is one tiny cramped ship - it doesn't have those seven metre high corridors...

so about the size of an Oberth class's nacelle/saucer section...

thankyou.

Actually, I'm not entirely sure what your point is. Elucidate, please?

Doesn't it have like four main decks and then like a lower "half deck" around the nacelles?

Depends on who you believe. Some would say it has five full decks, plus a semideck...

*agrees with RW* Guys, no matter how many times we go through this, someone will be disatisfied with the answer. I say we all just agree to disagree, and let that be the end of it.

*didn't know there was a big problem with this; thought he was being helpful by pointing this out*

Sorry.

I agree. This is a nasty subject. I think that even if Worf or Sisko said the length on the show, we would still be disagreeing. =(
