Right, I was way off on the length of the Enterprise D. I was thinking of another starship. I used to know this stuff by memory. It's always struck me how much "wasted" space is inside Picard's ship. The crew's quarters--at least the officers--are huge by any standards, full of unused floor space. Corridors are very wide, even things like the cargo and shuttle bays seem to be awfully large. And the bridge itself is a huge space that's not fully used.

Of course, a lot of this had to do with making it easier to shoot the series. The bridge and the corridors were made bigger than necessary so all the cameras, dollies, crew, lights, etc., could fit in the spaces.

This dude says the "D" could hold up to 12,000 people. I remember in the alternate reality where the Federation was at war with the Klingon Empire ("Yesterday's Enterprise"), they mentioned the ship was carrying over 5000 troops.

I took the info from the site and this is what I have so far: 2100 ft long
1532ft wide, 451ft high divided by 42 decks gives you 10.7ft tall per deck but that does not take into consideration the design of the bottom half of the ship, the landing bays, cargo holds etc.

I own the Star Trek Technical manual sets for TNG and DS9, a couple of compendiums about the OS written by showrunners, and a great series of books called "The Nitpicker's Guide", where a nerdy dude spends all his time pointing out the plot flaws and scientific mistakes in the Trek shows. So yeah, I've got those measurements around. Off the top of my head, I believe the Enterprise NCC-1701 is about 820 feet long (stem to stern?)
I believe the NCC-1701D is around 1100 - 1200 feet long, but much, wider and taller than 1701 original. When TNG started, the creators used to say that Picard's ship was 5 - 7 times larger inside than Kirk's.

Mr Worf, there are specs out there on Enterprise's exact dimensions. I saw them once, but barely a glance. Keith might know more.

His house looks more like the engineering section than the crews bedroom. Has anyone done the real world math on how big the enterprise would have to be? Their bedrooms look pretty big.

Exactly, Mr Worf. Would *have* to be a fangirl. Any non-fan would find the first excuse to run.
