[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] I always got the impression that the Huron was a small ship. Very rough eyeballing suggests the ships is really small. I assume the dome on top of the forward section is the bridge, and the bridge roughly fits inside this. A guestimate of height of the officer standing (1.9m) and the bridge height (2xish that) gives a length of 90 meters long bow-stern or 95 including the nacelle. But the width gives a much smaller figure if it fill's it of half that. The space in picture 2, which looks like a cargo bay to me, is 25 meters from side to side if the man is 1.9m tall again. If that is the case then we can only really use it to determine the minimum size of the ship - 25 meters wide. This too small as it gives a length of about 75 meters. It's likely that there are more than one cargo bays on this kind of ship. A completely fictional theory would put two of these bays side by side, port to starboard, with the camera angle parallel to fore->aft, giving a c.150m length. BUT, the roof of this space is curved side to side. This, to me, suggests it's suposed to represent the space in the rear hump of the ship. I that is so the hump is about 25 meters making the ship only about 55 meters long. One fianl thought before I make a judgement is that the lights (as Jason says) don't need to be windows but might act as a guidance/ docking system. Or they could be small windows in an array - perhaps the smaller cargo ship is made of cheaper and weaker material than the Federation flagship, so the individual panes of transparent aluminium need to be smaller? If the set of three high windows is a deck that gives anywhere between 70 and 130 meters for the ship length. I'd be inclined to go for 125 meters and just excuse the crude drawings for any disparity. In other words Defiant sized ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
