Not sure how accurate it is but given the figures I vaguely recall, this feels pretty accurate.

Realizing that the Discovery is longer than any of these ships really puts shit into perspective

Sneaky Defiant! Took me a moment.

That the Defiant is as big as the entire saucer on the Constitution class is wild. I thought it was much much smaller

It's even funnier when you hear the Sisko's initial description of the defiant.

It's a warship, nothing more, nothing less.

And also

No families, no science labs, no luxuries of any kind...

Meanwhile it's almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.

So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.

It had a lot of engines and guns

[–] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It also had a Romulan cloaking device and ablative armor that would disintegrate when hit rather than rupture.
