How big was the Enterprise?

but wasn't there also on screen material *earlier* in SNW quoting the 300ish meter size? a plaque or screen display?

A couple of times, but it wasnt very clear.

Yeah, in Discovery 2.01 using an early version of the Enterprise with straight nacelle pylons. They used the sizes from the old Star Fleet Technical Manual, which do not match the proportions of the Disco/SNW Enterprise.

Not quite. What was aired was a computer display for the Disco Enterprise with graphics using straight warp pylons. Most of the dimensions except for the warp nacelle were blocked by Stamets in the scene. If you used the warp nacelle length you could derive an overall length of 280m.

In SNW there were a couple of scenes where the overall length was present in bts graphics but were illegible either from being out of focus or camera moves (even watching on a 4k version) although IIRC, the dedication plaque might have been visible with the 443m figure.

i recalled a screen panel with the SNW/Disco, although on further thought, it may have technically been the Sombra class, but stating that it was essentially a carbon copy of the Connie but with even less crew, using the old figures....

anyway, the new size and proportions never solved the old issues, and indeed introduced new ones with the liberties taken. and we have the example of picard example of both snw and tos connies appearing...

"how big is she" i feel may never be solved
yo mama so big, she shapeshifts every year

Yeah, I bet you've seen the behind-the-scenes graphics for Disco/SNW with those figures but none of it was legible on screen (or just blocked by an actor) so no on-screen discrepancies, IMHO. However in SNW 3x07

Spoiler: SNW Spoiler

we are shown documentary style that the SNW Enterprise is 443m and 190,000 MT in big clear text.

. Whether they'll stick with that for the full run of the series should be interesting to see.

I do agree that for the size of the TOS Enterprise we'll never know
