Lee and I were just talking about the Saber's nacelle structure...it seems that the side diagram we have is incorrect. The green outline shows where the nacelle is:

However, the top diagram shows a bit of a "dip":

You can see the dip especially well here:

Indeed, we should be able to see part of the glowing strip thing as a result of the dip, too:

OTOH, it seems that in DS9, the top glowing strip is often not lit (although this isn't always the case), perhaps leading to the confusion:

Anyway, here's Lee's corrected diagram. He'll be doing a redrawn one for UP3, also.

This is why I posted that other thread. . . because the side diagram as featured in the Encyclopaedia 2 (and the DS9TM, surprise surprise) just never looked right - and when you look closely you see why. The nacelle has been blended into the side of the secondary hull. Indeed, there's even a hexagonal hull plate that overlaps.

I take it those diagrams confirm the 81947 registry....

Not really.

That is, Okuda says the eight was a labeling error.

Actually, Mike Okuda said that was an error.

You've got me confused here, Frank.

The registy is 61947 not 81947.

BTW: Yeager broke the soundbarrier for the first time in 1947
