I would have hated to be in that tank when the saucer crashed on Veridian III ... No seatbelts for dolphins!

Water is incompressible, I wonder if just being in the tank would've acted like a full-body safety restraint.

I guess it would depend on how much air is sitting on top of the tank in the room. If the tank was fully enclosed with 100% water and no air, yeah, I could see it being a pretty safe space. If there was the big room sitting on top of it filled with air for humanoid interaction with the tank's inhabitants, that thing would slosh around like a bastard and throw whatever was in there out all over the place - very unsafe. I would surmise there's probably a closable set of blast doors that would hold all the water firmly in place with minimal disturbance.

waiting for someone to measure the deck plan to see if it's actually 442 Meters :P

I wonder if we'll ever see what's behind those giant doors behind the transporter consoles.

That the secret Captured Omnipotent Energy Being Slave Pen area (because we all know even with these LCARS Computers there's NO WAY you can dissemble and reassemble a large person or Item atom by atom in just a few seconds.

The Transporters all work the way they do because of enslaved Omnipotent Energy Beings 'somehow 'chained' behind those doors...

Or perhaps it's just a content Medusan happily whiling away the hours contemplating its non-existent navel while calculating all the necessary computations.
