Not sure how accurate it is but given the figures I vaguely recall, this feels pretty accurate.
Realizing that the Discovery is longer than any of these ships really puts shit into perspective

That the Defiant is as big as the entire saucer on the Constitution class is wild. I thought it was much much smaller
It’s even funnier when you hear the Sisko’s initial description of the defiant.
And also
Meanwhile it’s almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.
So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.
It also had a Romulan cloaking device and ablative armor that would disintegrate when hit rather than rupture.
I always forget just how large the defiant is. I feel like there is rarely anything close enough in the camera shots to get a good idea of scale. Other than DS9 I mean.
Everything looks tiny when compared to ds9
Although when they created DS9 in Star Trek Online, they had to massively scale it up because otherwise it would have gotten lost among all the players’ ships, both by sheer volume and because so many ships in the game are absurdly large.
Same thing happened to Bookers ship from Discovery Season 3 and 4. It can fit in the cargo bay (barely) of the Discovery and yet in the game it’s like a third the size of said Discovery.
I think the shot we see of it against the Enterprise E in “First Contact” doesn’t help with the perception of the scale of the ship.
Just goes to show how much bigger all of the ships got after TOS.
