Vice Admiral
Reminds me of a Galaxy varient from the old USS Miranda site before it went belly up. Not saying you stole it, just that it reminds me of it.
What I'm still wanting to know is where you're getting your original drawings...I've never SEEN some of those ships before. Are there other views available of the ships on some site somewhere?
Just a little addition to the update...

I'm working on it but it might be a while before I'm done.
Meanwhile here's another update..

Sorry..I thought some of the fun would be to make you guys have to find the new ships..sort of of a "Where's Waldo" for Starships.
Ya, whats been updated this time? lol
It's too bad TNG was never able to really give that impression. At least I never got it. I think it was a book (one of the early TNG novels) that mentioned something about the Enterprise-D being able to fit inside the hollow space of the Warbird.
Seems like they pulled off that maneuver in the novel Federation. A pretty good read IMHO. It's one of two trek novels I've read four times. Tied with Spock, Messiah!. Also one I loved as a kid, but haven't read in at least 10 years, so maybe it really sucked and I just didn't get it.

When I studied the problem, I found evidence that both exist.
In comparing the size of ships on screen, depth becomes a major distortion. It's exceedingly rare to find a view of two ships at near-equal distances from the camera view. The tool I find most valuable is the vertical distance between window lights. From this I can extapolate the number of decks on the ship, and from there I can get the height of the ship. After that, I can use other footage to determine length and width. It works out pretty well (at least in my opinion).
When I examined the windows on the Romulan Warbird, I got conflicting data. In most instances, there turned out to be 66 decks, but in a few there were 96 decks. 66 decks works out to a length of 787.6 meters (about 23 percent longer than the Galaxy class), and 96 decks works out to 1146 meters (about 79 percent longer than the Galaxy class).
Also, in "The Defector" (TNG) Captain Picard asks Admiral Jarok for data on the B-Type Warbird, implying that an A-Type Warbird also exists.

And the "Jellyfish" and the new/old Shuttle to the small ship chart...

Just stumbled across this. Great work Jep, your chart is really interesting to look at! I realise of course that many of these designs aren't canon but nevertheless, wow does starfleet have a diverse fleet of designs. Gives a good impression of how large an organistion Starfleet might acutally be.
