Sometimes it's hard to comprehend the size of some ships without truly being on them or a comparison.

Especially on TV. You never really got the true scale of the E-D on the show.

One thing I always told people that you can easily fit the Titanic on the flight deck of a aircraft carrier with room to spare. Not saying the carrier won't sink but still...

Now and again somebody suggests building a replica of the Titanic for novelty cruises. But people don't realise that the ship was tiny compared to modern cruise liners.





And honestly, in terms of facilities it's kind of a dump by modern standards. The Titanic didn't even have a swimming pool. And can you seriously imagine people today paying to travel in steerage?

Correction: They didn't have a swimming pool mounted to the side of the ship with a view of the ocean directly below.

To this day it is still filled with water too.

I'll see myself out...

Back to the original post, I think we also should factor actual living space. Those nacelles (with the exception of course the Defiant and Voyager) take up a lot of length.

I mean the Galaxy class becomes even more impressive when you factor that in.
