Starfleet added all those little windows to make her look bigger than she actually is.

I remember a few years ago I started a discussion on the size of the Olympic, and I thought that she should be bigger then what the Encyclopedia said she was. It's hard to get a straight deck count out of her though because the windows don't perfectly match up.

Waaaait a minute. Are we talking about the lead ship of the Olympic-Class? The one to which the Pasteur belongs? If we are, then yes, perhaps someone could explain to me why she is about the length of a Constitution-refit. I counted something like 24 decks last I remember. (although I was using the windows.)

The specs I have are 23 decks and 239 meters. I'm not sure where that specific figure came from, but it appears to fit.
