This sure as heck changed over time. we know she was 20 years old in TOS
It wouldn't be the first time that designers mixed up units of measurement...

That bit about the shuttle bay being large enough to house a "fleet" of jetliners is a hangover from the earliest versions of the series bible.
Does it make sense, that all deck have the same height, versus a minimum height?
Off hand, bays would be to be larger than say decks with bunks

Well that didn't stick for long, "fit a fleet of jet liners in the shuttle bay", you can barely swing a cat in there.

Kinda feel like JJ Abrams might have taken the TOS writer's guide a little bit more seriously than some of his predecessors...Well that didn't stick for long, "fit a fleet of jet liners in the shuttle bay", you can barely swing a cat in there.
In fact, it would be interesting if Discovery is about to make this entire discussion pointless. The Kelvinverse connie IS the largest ship in the fleet by a comfortable margin, and the Discovery version is likely to be as well. All is as it should be.
Give or take the Mayflower's oversized saucer and the Vengeance.
There was one in Sisko’s office.
Technically, it was never identified as one and could even be a fictional design. Technically.
I don't consider Vengeance to be a Starfleet ship. Also, as I've pointed out numerous times, Mayflower's saucer isn't actually all that large compared to the Enterprise; it looks pretty normal (and relatively small) on the wide-angle shot two seconds earlier.
And the class was never named. We know it was the "Horizon" because it was painted on it.
And yet it matches every depiction of the class everywhere else.
Has T'Kuvma's ship been given a size yet?
There are zero canon descriptions or depictions other than that model.
And no, as far as I know, no ship has been given an official size yet.
The Walker and Crossfield have.

Writer's guides are apocryphal. They're voided the second something contradictory shows up on screen. I'd put them higher than tie-in media (novels, comics and, yes, collectible models), but only equal to artist concepts, sets or CGI models.
In this very thread, shortly before the arguments about Connie.
They're what started the arguments.
Sorry, did not read the whole thread. Where did they get the size from? I recall a lot of guess work, but I did not see anywhere that was quoted.
Not that Abrams would ever get credit for it.
