Okay, cool . . . an airship that is as long as an old Zeppelin is cool enough, but then you have to take into account the fact that this thing is almost as long as Kirk's Enterprise.

The main thing that got my attention, though, were the bigass clamshell doors on the hangar. I was having a What'zis Name'oh moment, reminded of the shuttlebay doors of the Enterprise.

Then I found the size of this thing . . . the hangar is something like 350 meters long. It could, quite possibly, *hold* Kirk's Enterprise. You could at least throw a Defiant in there.

Or some more - depending on the "real" size! [Big Grin]

Maybe they will name one of them the "Whole Lotta Love".

Well, a zeppelin is the proverbial stairway to heaven.

And now for a hot, water-filled tub and a razorblade, I can't take more of this sublevel-humor, it gives me a bellyache and I've got a beauty right now. [Wink]

That hanger looks like the ones they build heighliners in, if you take my meaning.
