In a TNG ep shown here recently (it might have been "True Q"?), there was a good shot of the back of the E-D, and there were no numbers on the doors...

I'm sorry but the Excelsior has 1 shuttlebay, between the impulse engines. This is seen in the master situation monitor used on star trek generations. The thing on the opposite side of the deflector are torpedo launchers and i don't think that a shuttle would want to land there.
And Voyager aint big enough to have more than one shuttle bay. And if it had 2, where the heck is the other one?!

If the Excelsior has a shuttlebay between the impulse engines, it must be pretty damned skinny, since the impulse engines are right up against one another...

About the Centaur... Couldn't they go in its poor excuse for a secondary hull? Either that, or could some of those protrusions on the underside of the saucer be little one-shuttle shuttlebays?

Uh...I dont see why every single ship must have shuttles. I just meant that maybe the Centaur has no shuttle bay...perhaps there is a small "shuttle launcher tube" or something
I always assumed those bumps on the hull were for phasers or something.

Excalibur: If you hadn't mentioned "Generations" I would think you're talking about the Sovereign and not of the Excelsior.
I also think that every starship carries shuttles. The only appropriate place for a shuttlebay on the Centaur would be the rear end of the photon torpedo launcher. Keep in mind it's not the same size as the Miranda launcher, but a lot bigger.

Oh, and before someone points out that my complaint about the run-on is, in fact, a fragment, I would point out that I was aware of that when I wrote it. But I wasn't tossing unwarranted insults at the time, so it's okay... :-)
