[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Here is my newest most bestest schematics for Huron. [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/Masao/usshuron.jpg] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/Masao/th_usshuron.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Bernd says at EAS: [QUOTE] "A lower limit for the ship's length is 100m, as we can see it at some distance behind the Enterprise. Under the assumption that the nacelles are the same size as on the Constitution, the Huron is 260m long, and a lot more voluminous than the cruiser at this length. We obtain a more manageable size of 214m if we match the distances between the rows of (perhaps overly large) windows with those of the Enterprise."[/QUOTE]By my reckoning, the window size gives a ship size of 70 m, whereas window spacing gives a size of 190 m. [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/Masao/HuronWindows.jpg] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/Masao/th_HuronWindows.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Clearly, the windows on Huron are kind of screwy. They're very big and very close together and, therefore, unreliable for determining the size of the ship. So, let's get rid of the windows!

So, how big do you think Huron is?
