The conning tower obviously has two levels; plus there are two rows of lights visible on the upperside of the fuselage, but the saucer itself is so shallow compared to the conning tower, I can't imagine them cramming two levels in there. They must be skylights. . . or maybe just lights and not windows at all. But then - there's also a row of lights visible on the underside. So there could be two decks in there. . . The Sarajevo is obviously the Defiant of its day!

From that scraeengrab, it looks like the ship sports a single nacelle at the center aft- the two diaganal "bridges" seem to overhang it. No glowy parts or endcap on the nacelle though.
I dig it.
This would be the oldest example of asingle-nacelled starship so far.

That's true. Does the NX-01 have any other transporters though? Because we were told that transporters had been in use for cargo for some time before it got cleared for humans, right?
Come to think of it, we've never actually seen the NX-01 taking up any significant cargo, but the cargo holds are filled with those yellow barrels that seem to fit a transporter pad.

Regarding the Sarajevo, those two rows of exposed, vulnerable angular windows make the ship look somewhat "civilian". Like a yacht of sorts, really.
Do we have any reason to think this vessel would be armed? My first impression is of a "command boat", a vessel type important to our littorial navy. A liaison vessel that looks like a small and grey Miami Vice druglord yacht, dedicates a lot of room to engines (most of the lateral fairings on the Sarajevo could be engine, if each holds a set of coils as wide as those blue lights are wide), features good communications gear, and of course is utterly unarmed and unshielded so as not to carry extra weight.
I'm forced to think that the small roundish dots do not indicate decks, since the size and positioning of the "sail" windows so inescapably establishes the scale of this vessel.

I must admit, speaking as a Trek fan and a slightly shamefaced Transfan at the same time, the designs are strikingly similar...if I were Archer I would keep my eye on the Sarajevo!
Maybe this is one of Manny Coto's plans for season 4 - the Decepticon arc? ;-)
