U.S.S. Enterprise - how many decks?
- Thread starter Citizen Cook
- Start date
The Making of Star Trek, IIRC, said the saucer was 11 decks high and the secondary was 18 (presumably counting the neck and presumably starting on deck 5 or so of the saucer). I think this was quoting, or at least citing, the writer's guide. This is close to the Franz Josef plans.
But yeah, there's not a lot of room. Even if you look at the FJ hangar, which seems the right size, there's precious little room for the elevator or its shaft. (And let's not get into the fact that the shuttle itself is somewhat Tardis-like.)

I ignore the "number of decks" thing (much like other cringy things of Final Frontier i.e. travelling to the center of the galaxy in a few hours without a wormhole to assist the distance).
Headcanon, the entire reason the turboshaft was down for repairs was in addition to an idiot playing a joke by making the system think that every deck was less than a meter tall, thus the 78 decks listing. Scotty and his limited number of engineers were still fixing the problem.

Nah, in Final Frontier they travelled to the centre of the Galaque Sea - a wierd nebula-like phenomenom from Vulcan legend. No ship had ever crossed the barrier, no probe ever returned...
The name "Galaque Sea" is less confusing in the original Vulcan language, I suspect

The Enterprise-A doesn't have 78 decks, it has 22 decks.
Quoting from that long ago to question an obvious joke? I envy your free time.
I really wish I had the time or motivation to create an Enterprise-A cutaway with 78+ decks. I'd love to see it.
My question for you is this on the star ship enterprises TOS what is the room sizes at on each deck, from deck 2 thru deck 23?
Nobody knows.
On The Starship Enterprise Hope lives again, oh oops wrong show.
We mean Kirk lives again to go on Kirking.

2 posts nearly week apart on a 3 year old thread and still no lockdown?
Truly the Trek gods are smiling on us!
What’s the substantial difference between continuing a three-year-old thread (normally because time didn’t make the discussion so irrelevant it couldn’t be continued) and keeping one open for hundreds of pages, usually under an obsolete or diluted title?
This is a question for the mods, not me!
Click! Non canon and somewhat ourdated now, but should give you a decent idea of how much space there is.
I have not yet read the entire thread yet, but I wanted to share that the largest number given in dialogue for a deck in TOS is 14 I believe, and Voyager is about the same size and has 15 decks. Of course for that to work out with the designs shown in blueprints offscreen(and sometimes used onscreen for displays), that would mean that the TOS Enterprise has taller decks than it seems, or that each "deck" has a couple "levels." I like this approach, though I expect it won't be very popular, lol.
I need to know if you know of the room sizes on each deck of the enterprises TOS. I need size in feet and inches please.
What do you need that for?
The "flats" used to construct the sets were 10 ft tall on average, FJ's tech manual has decks about 9 ft tall on average
