You're lucky I didn't include my kitbash photoshops of the ones I made up.Nerd.
One thing that puzzles me about the Cerritos is the depression on top of the saucer, just aft of the registry number. It's the only time we've seen a Starfleet vessel where there are windows that have no view of the stars. If those are crew quarters in there, it'd be like living in an apartment building where all you can seen is another apartment building across a parking lot. Which would also mean that anyone living there would need curtains, since whoever's on the opposite side of the dip can see right into your room.
This came up before elsewhere. What kind of world do you live in where a two-story (!) building thirty or fourty meters opposite of your building stops you from seeing the sky? Have you looked out of a window before?
There are many tall buildings in Washington DC that are built to fit within the perimeter of a city block, that have a central open courtyard that you can see across to the other inner side of the same physical building. Europe and the UK are full of architecture just like that. A bit unconventional for a starship, to be sure, but not outlandishly so.
Not really.
1) The Defiant and the Akira also have windows facing each other.
2) Nothing stops people from seeing stars through these windows. They just have to look up - but doing so through a vertical window is actually more convenient than doing so through a skylight, in terms of neck anatomy and all.

Which is how the vast majority of windows on this planet are set up anyway. But we're talking about two-storey buildings here only. Or one-storey for the similar ventral depressions. Plenty of sky visible there.
Again pretty much how things work on this planet. But you'd need binoculars to see anything truly interesting across that distance. (Perhaps the very reason Rutherford acquired that ocular implant?)

True, but my point is, that two stories is not a “tall building”. Plus, the outside walls and windows are slanted and there is a large space between all sides. People should see plenty of stars.
True, more like the Pentagon - not as tall by comparison, relative to overall surface area dispersal, but similar notion.

Ab’strakt class.
Like a cleaner version of the one from Enterprise with some 23rd century proportions.

Ooh are they making a more detailed K'vort class here? Remember, the K'Vort was a similar design of the BOP only larger (about the size of a galaxy in comparison), so this is looking good!

I like that idea too, but I'm not sure what the name relationship is between a written constitution and a character from a Shakespeare play?
Ok.. While nerding my 3d cerritos model .. Took the time to count windows..
200 or so on the rim alone
560 or so in the saucer top/bottom
100 or so in the steps and apartment block cutout
50 or so in the eng hull
So 910 or so windows in the whole ship.
I say or so cuz I tried to keep my model accurate.. But I know my count is off. But not by much. Likely under counted.
That's ALOT of Ops!
