Assuming that little circular feature near the bridge is a turbolift, I get right at around 230 m. A comparison with the Constitution class can be found here: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/ryanmcreynolds/ent-ent-comparison.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/ryanmcreynolds/ent-ent-comparison.jpg</a>. Geocities does suck, so you'll have to cut and paste.<p>It appears that the <i>Enterprise</i> as a saucer roughly the same diameter as the Constitution, but somewhat shallower. There's no indication that the catamaran hull or pod are inhabitable, which may account for the smaller crew complement, just 20% of the Constitution. Additionally, it can be assumed that ship's systems take up a lot more volume as well, not to mention stores and cargo space.<p>-=Ryan McReynolds=-<p>[ July 10, 2001: Message edited by: Ryan McReynolds ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,6,10,0,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 10, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:49 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Yeah, the bridges looks about the same size, too.

Also, if we don't have antimatter/matter annihilation reactor, we're going to be using a deuterium fusion reactor. So we'll need pretty large deuterium bunkerage.<br />(or will they have antimatter power?).<p>I'd like to see a topside comparison view of this ship and the old 1701.
