You know I was just about to edit my post to ask that very question. I don’t think it was ever officially stated anywhere in tos
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?
- Thread starter EJD1984
- Start date
Just checked memory alpha - they state:
“That being said and oddly enough, neither dimension has actually ever been canonicallyconfirmed, as neither dimension was ever seen or referred to in any of the live-action Star Trek productions.”
My original question has been rendered moot.
Dagnabbit.
As pointed out by another poster recently, this is canon, complete with scale in feet, from "The Enterprise Incident":

In the future, they only use Metric. Canon violation.
Memory Alpha cited that too - I think that’s the most compelling evidence for the scale of the prime Enterprise.
I guess it’s never been mentioned in dialogue and the screen display in the Enterprise incident would count as “visuals” and the visuals have been rebooted so the producers of DSC can ignore it (I don’t agree with that rationale by the way, but I think that’s what tptb would argue). The Enterprise could become a mile long now if the only evidence of her being smaller comes from a visual source.
“Torch” class, lol. I bet Blue-rays will dub over the “D7” line too

We saw Harry Kim identify a Klingon ship as a D-7.
From Generations iirc the duras sisters were in “class d-12 bird of prey”, so you can have name and number apply to same ship
The U.S. and it's allies had their own names for all the Soviet aircraft (and Japanese WWII aircraft) if I recall. Not sure if those names were in any way translations of the Russian names.
For the Soviet Aircraft at least, the NATO names were unrelated to whatever the Russian name was, they just chose a word that started with a letter to designate the type of aircraft.
For example, fighter aircraft were all given reporting names starting with 'F' (Frogfoot, Fullback) Helicopters were given 'H' names (Hind, Hip)

And that changes my idea how?
They did that with romulan ships in TNG too - the d’deridex was the “b-type” iirc.
Always wondered what an “a-type” warbird looked like
Nobody has ever seen one...and lived
289-305 meters in length. Unless you're high or just don't care, in which case 750 meters with warp nacelles that expand to a kilometer each when in use or during sweeps week.
Can't I be both?
MODEL STARSHIP GLUE AND APATHY FOR EVERYONE!!!
I'm pretty sure the prevailing feeling at CBS these days is that TOS isn't canon, just something very vaguely like it and the rest of Trek "happened", with different looks and events transpiring differently (i.e. Kirk and Spock wouldn't be amazed by the "theoretically possible" cloaking device in "Balance of Terror" because it's tech the Klingons have had and used all along)
In other words, it's not the same universe as TOS.
