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

    Here's some more perspective. The aircraft carrier pictured apparently carries almost 2000 people.

      That's not even a big carrier either. American supercarriers between the flight crews, the ship crews, the marine contingent and everything else can fit up to SIX THOUSAND people.

      There's no need for anyone on the Cerritos to sleep in the fucking hallways. That's like "we live on a literal submarine" level of privacy. It's beyond idiotic. The Cali class are MASSIVE. There's no need for anyone to be living in the hallways like that.

          The problem is that they want to eat their cake and have it to when it comes to being a comedic show that parodies Trek, but also a serious part of the Trek canon.

          Sometimes it works, like with the SNW crossover episode, or the ludicrous gambit to clear the captain's name when she's being framed for blowing up Planet Packled. Other times, like with the stupid koala or the people sleeping in the corridors it goes beyond what makes sense in-universe and becomes stupid for an out-of-universe joke.

            It might seem like that at first glance, but every Star Trek show has had episodes more absurd than even the silliest Lower Decks one.

      Yep, the Enterprise has about the volume of an aircraft carrier, but only a fraction of the crew. By modern standards it is downright roomy.
