The very first scene where we see Voyager was when Paris and Lt. Stadi were arriving at DS9 via shuttlecraft, presumably from another ship orbiting the station (otherwise that would have been a looooong trip - although Stadi WAS hot. ). Right after, we go to the scene where Kim was busy being fleeced by Quark, where Paris shows up. And right after THAT, we get the scene in sickbay with Dr. Fitzgerald. In between the last two there is a purported scene where the two actually board Voyager. The book is "Voyager: A Vision of the Future". I quite distinctly remember this pic while leafing through a copy in the bookstore bargain bin some years back.

The borg is about 40% too small in that scene (the hatch should be about 9-10' tall at a guess).
Of course, the fact that Voyager is an absolutely huge ship (compared with a Connie Refit, aircraft carrier or an adverage crewman) was always played down.

But if the decks of the ship are 3.5 m tall, the vertical wall on the rim probably ought to be quite a bit more than 4 m, and the doorway about 3 m across at a minimum rather than maximum. The discrepancy need not be quite that great in that case. In any case, this isn't your grandfather's docking ring, compatible with the movie "travel pods"...
Somebody a bit less comatose than me could probably be bothered to measure the diameter exactly. (Or perhaps somebody already did. Was that a guesstimate or a nerdishly accurate measurement, Jason?)

Something that I reckon would be standard amongst most Federation starships. There is a docking port that would fit the same diameter as this on the Enterprise-D - seen used in "11001001".
The Original Doctor was called Dr. Fitzgerald?? Where'd you get that tid-bit of info? I always wondered what his and the First Officer's name was! I mean it was pretty mean to not even introduce them with a name. I mean it would have made for a bit more of a Shock when they were killed by the Caretaker's wave.

Just, (as pointed out) that it's almost certainly a standard sized docking ring for Fed ships (and having seen/built that particular model, that part looks to be the "standard" size- it's not noticably larger.
The 40% thing is just my decade of printing (and scaling to match copy) experience showing itself off.

There was a list of casualties viewed by Seven in some episode or another, perhaps in "Ashes to Ashes" or something like that. This list had two LtCmdrs who'd almost have to be the CMO and the CEO.
As usual, I don't have the facts directly available, but perhaps this jogs the memory of somebody who has this archived?

Check Bernd's site regarding that display. And the display has names that come from "The West Wing" characters. And there was even one Commander on the list.

Fitzgerald is from the novelization of "Caretaker", actually. Note that he was played by that supersoldier guy from a TNG epsiode that also co-starred the Zephram Cochrane dude before he became famous.

*wonders* Do moderators move parts of threads to new thread when they change topic?
Lt. Commander Cavit was introduced to both Kim and Paris, he shook Kim's hand and welcomed him aboard, and then turn and left Paris standing there.
I find the low ranks of Voyager crew to be odd. The XO was a Lt. Commander, and Kim- who I had thought must have taken over at Ops because the previous person was killed, was actually put in charge of Ops on the main duty shift as an Ensign from the very start.

I don't think it's odd that an XO is a LCDR. We've seen Data act in the capacity under Jellico and the Odyssey's XO was an LCDR as well. Plus for a short time Spock was an XO as an LCDR. And I also don't see a problem with Kim being an Ensign and the Operations Officer.
