USS Kelvin - is there an official size?

[DEWLine]

If TOS had Galactica 2.0's VFX animation teams and retained something of Matt Jeffries' and Andrew Probert's design sense.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Think of how completely Starfleet changed the look of their ships between TOS in 2266-69 and TMP in 2273. Now, the Kelvin is a ship from 34 years prior to TOS. Add to that "In a Mirror, Darkly", which essentially called the TOS Defiant fantastic technology-meets-art, and there's more than enough wiggle room to justify the Kelvin's look in the TOS timeline.

 

[Crazy Eddie]

Thus the dialog strongly implies it's the TOS timeline that it diverged from (you agree, obviously) without needing to actually make the Kelvin look like a TOS ship.

But the Kelvin does look like a TOS ship...if TOS had been produced in 2009.

So very true.
