Well they were known by their more common name, "Ironsides" during WWII...
Perhaps that rings a bell now...?
No.
If you're referring to Doctor Who? I don't watch it.

To quote Doug Drexler:
'I opted for spindly nacelle struts because I felt it suggested a technology beyond what we were familiar with. They are beyond transwarp. They can fold space, and they are exploring other galaxies besides the Milky Way.' (quote from Memory Alpha).
Tardis wise I doubt it. No-where is this mentioned in any source material I can lay my hands on. The ship was supposed to encompass parks and universities etc. so I should imagine it would just be very large.
As for the design of the ship itself I am at a loss as to what to make of it. From some angles and on certain days it looks beautiful, and others it looks like an absolute dog. Overall it looks a bit awkward and the general reception seems to be one of 'hmmm' rather than 'wow'. The USS Aventine, designed by Mark Rademaker on the other hand, is a complete stunner.

Each to their own I suppose. I just think its far better looking than the 'J'.
I love the design of the Enterprise-J.
I do too. Now I liked the congo version of Doug's...

"Pizza cutter" has been the term used by some (including myself, I admit) to describe the Enterprise-J. Just so happens that they have recently made a Star Trek pizza cutter, and well, um...

By heck the Congo class isnt very pretty. Wouldn't mind seeing some more detailed images of the J from more angles so I could decide weather I like it or not. I'm clearly getting that pizza cutter.
The "real" reason why the Enterprise-J's saucer looks so thin is because the original blurry diagram that appeared in ENT's "Azati Prime" was really a photoshopped and stretched out "to there" image of NX-01 remade to look like a 26th-Century Enterprise (they needed a futuristic Enterprise schematic quickly that would be only displayed in the background of one scene, IMO). After the episode, Doug Drexler went back and refined it, with one of his re-rendered images eventually appearing in a Ships of the Line Calendar and subsequently across the internet, IIRC...
IIRC, there was an in-universe explanation of the saucer being only one deck thick, but the gravity was adjusted in such a way that people were walking in a perpendicular fashion around the disc, so that the multiple decks were actually rings, not flat levels. Sounded strange to me at the time, but I suppose it could make some kind of sense to a certain degree. Not even sure I'm explaining it right...
