[edit] Relative Size Comparisons
When planning how many smaller ships may be carried by a larger ship or carrier, care should be given to ensure the load capacity is somewhat realistic. The dimensions provided below are approximations, in many cases rounded up figures. In other cases they are simply educated guesses. Using these as guidelines should be plenty close enough for most purposes. If the rounding bothers you, please remember that actual ships might take a little bit more deck space due to odd shapes and special support fixtures. Don't forget to think three dimensionaly--there has to be enough headroom as well.
[edit] UPDATE NOTES
- This list is sorted by the longest length dimension as best as I can maintain it.
- Some entries are one of a kind or only shown for scale comparison.
- If in doubt, please ASK.
- I am sorry to destroy the image, but I may make mistakes...
- Please leave corrections or requests on the discussion tab... it's OK!

[edit] POST-NOTES
PLEASE: In an on-going effort to build our resources to support creativity, we need your help. We need more information on primarily the smaller ship and shuttle classes. Those most likely to be carried aboard other vessels. Hopefully you can see the value of knowing whether your intended auxiliary craft will fit within the spaces you desire or being able to compute how many craft you can reasonably carry.
- Defiant Special Note -- Various visual and written references disagree as to the actual size of the Defiant class. I propose an alternate solution to solve the debate.
- The Defiant was possibly the first Starfleet design intended as a primary war vessel. In order to allow maximum use of available shipyard facilities to quickly provide these ships it is quite possible that the basic design might have been scaled up and down from the original to fit better with production availability.
- Being a design specifically for war, it also makes sense to have variant sized versions intended to confuse the enemy as to what ship they were detecting since each variant would look the same as all the others based on distance.
- This also would allow a much smaller 69 meter long version which would function as more of a fast, close assault ship in mixed fleet battles.
- The 170 meter version seems to be the best fit for the primary Defiant as seen most often on-screen.
- Problem is that there are various references supporting all of the variations in length/size, so this compromise is offered as a plausible explaination.

Please list the CLASS of vessel, your name, your source for information, vessel length-width-height as per the work we have already done. In some cases you may need to show those dimensions for both deployed AND stowed condition if they vary significantly. Any craft that
has foldable [stowable] weapons pods, warp pods, wing structures, etc may be able to fit into smaller docking facilities. In that case, please provide BOTH sets of dimensions.
