[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [qb]While watching ST: TMP DE on DVD, I was reading Okuda’s text... Additionally, when looking at Okuda’s “deck chart” for the Enterprise-A in the first printing of the Star Trek Encyclopedia, he erroneously locates Main Engineering on deck 19, and also locates deuterium fuel storage on decks 16 & 17. He also lists the E-A as having 23 decks, which is purely inaccurate. It is simply not possible to account for that many decks based on horizontal window locations present on the filming model. :confused: [ December 01, 2001: Message edited by: Commander Dan ][/qb][/QUOTE] I think we have to be careful about refering to the 1701 refit as the 1701-A. The latter is a different ship, which we all know has 78 decks according to ST5. :D Andy Probert gave me some photocopies of drawings he did for TMP. I have scanned a cutaway showing all the decks in the engineering hull and dorsal. I will upload it if someone can remind me how/where. According to this drawing, there are 4 decks in the dorsal (one above the separation line, one below). There's a gap about .6 decks high at the level of the photorp exhaust vent, then there's one deck through the torpedo launcher. There are 7 decks indictated from there down, the bottommost one being the botanical deck. There is space for one small deck below, but no indications that one exists. So....if the deck at the bottom the impulse engine is deck 7, adding the 12 decks indicated abot makes for 19 deck. If we assume one final deck at the bottom (where I assume all the antimatter is stored), that's a grand total of 20 decks. It should be pointed out that Andy's drawing clearly shows all the portholes and lines the decks up with these. So, based on this... Deck 12: Torpedo bay Deck 14: Main Engineering/Hangar cotnrol room Deck 16: Docking port/hanger deck floor Deck 17: Floor of hanger airlock/elevator/shuttle storage Deck 18: Floor of cargo deck/overmost shuttle storage Deck 19: Botantical garden Finally, looking at Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, Shane Johnson's cutaway is almost accurate (he clearly based it on Andy's drawing), but where he messed up with whe got one too many decks in the dorsal (I suspect he mistinterpreteted that short .6 deck height non-deck at the impulse exhaust for a full deck). Otherwise, hes got everything else pretty much right (except the stuff he made up, of course). [/QB][/QUOTE]
