A little short for a starship, isn't he?

Container ships are fucking massive. The Enterprise only held like 1000 people which is only a small portion of a basketball arena.

Well damn, how tiny was Voyager? It only had like 1-200 people IIRC.

Voyager is just a hair longer than the classic Enterprise, but it's also chonkier so it has more volume. About 150 people on an Intrepid-class, 200 on a Constitution-class.

The original ship was also packed. Many many packed bunks and crowded halls. Even as noted in DS9 time travel to TOS episode

The ship itself felt huge to me, but even Kirk's quarters were pretty modest.

This Is the 1701, Kirk's. It only had 430 people on it.
