Water is incompressible, I wonder if just being in the tank would've acted like a full-body safety restraint.I would have hated to be in that tank when the saucer crashed on Veridian III ... No seatbelts for dolphins!

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.

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.^^^

Not sure it's entirely that, or part of the same movement that influenced The Voyage Home in the first place that started 20+ years earlier.
Turns out there’s still some Malachowski classes with the old nacelles

Here's one more #StarTrekSNW's "Wedding Bell Blues" Starbase fleet scene starship class identification post. This shot is special, as it features several original Malachowski class ships. 1 Bellerophon class (like USS Farragut) 2 Kelcie Mae type 3 Malachowski class (pre-refit)

It's like a damn Rorschach Test with some of those things... 
I'm glad there are people who have the eyes and patience to peruse these screenshots.

Actually, assuming the tank doesn't rupture, submerged in water is the best place you could possibly be in a crash. Look up egg drop tests when the eggs are neutrally buoyant in water. The impact force is dispersed over your entire body evenly, rather than just the parts with straps.

So, you keep seeing starships in the inkblots?
It's an ailment that's hounded me for decades. I've been told that something interesting may happen if I bathe in decal sheets and model glue...
I always love learning about this stuff - do you happen to have a link to the VFX guy’s post?
Meh... It's all in Teh Canonz™ now!
