Actually, they look like the Sabre: CHeck out the bridge at the very front of the dorsal side.

Sabre? I don't see the resemblance.

All right, now it's time for someone with artistic talent to recreate those Earth Starfleet ships in real 2D arrangements! [Big Grin]

Aya: The "Iceland" ship has its bridge right at the front of the primary hull, just like the Saber does. But that's all Jason was referring to, I think -- not the rest of the ship.

Exactly: just the bridge position and the look of the bridge itself.

More cockpitty than bridgey, methinks... Goes with the overall aerodynamic look of the ship.

NO....look at how far away the ship is in the screencap I linked: it's a bridge and probably as large a bridge as the NX-01's at that.

I understand that. What I'm saying is that the bridge is placed forward on the hull to evoke the image of an jet fighter.

hmmmmm....I think it looks more like a 767's cockpit buldge (as long as we're making airplane comparisons).
That's the feature that I think makes the Sabre so attractive and fast looking.

Please don't direct-link to any of these pics.

The convoy caps are up now, too, I think...

Why?
Does it hose someone more than going through the directory?
If so, I'll definitely not do it...

none of the convoy caps work - although I haven't seen the episode and I shouldn't be spoiling myself like this.

He messed up with the thumbnail page, he just used the layout of the main gallery page, so the thumbnails don't work and there are too many of them, but if you click on the first 6 or so, you will indeed get the full sized convoy pics.

Jason, he's got a big pleading reminder right at the top of the page...

Regarding the Intrepid, it seems to have an almost identical basic saucer construction as the NX-class. Quite a lot of windows too. Probably the saucer is of the same size, minus the cut-outs. Only that if they do a side by side comparison, they will let the NX appear considerably larger.

And I agree with Starship Freak that one of the designs looks like Kes's shuttle.
