I love that back/sideways angle of the ship. Such a beautiful design.

Always strange to me that the science labs would be located directly below the bridge. It made more sense for conference rooms, library computer banks, observation areas, a lounge for bridge crew, and perhaps even the captain's quarters to be located there. Considering that labs might be conducting dangerous experiments, placing them so close to the primary control center of the ship just seems bizarre. It might make more sense to put such labs in the secondary hull.

Yeah, a lot of the positioning doesn't really make sense. They have the infirmary as a taurus, the center of which is the battle bridge. The recreational deck is also a taurus, the center of which is the main computer system. And right beside the junior officers quarters? Photon torpedo banks. Sleep tight! I'd've imagined offices on the 2nd deck. Like, the XO's office... an office for R&D, an office for diplomacy. Perhaps a conference room, and special guest quarters. The computer would make more sense near engineering, or perhaps bridge. Like, right under or above one of those. Or at the very least, at the center of all the science labs.

I like the idea of the ship having a large astrophysics lab with a large telescope and all that. But the idea that it would be pointed in the aft direction to me is what makes no sense. If you had such a lab with a large telescope to do astronomical observations, it would make more sense to have it pointed ahead in the direction of travel and toward the star systems that you might be traveling to. Not away from it!!

It probably reflects the ship's mission of exploration. The science being done was considered a primary executive concern. Tucking it away in some other part of the ship, requiring a longer route to travel for the bridge crew, probably wouldn't align as well with that mission.

Your efforts are DEEPLY impressive and you are to be commended for your attention to detail. As a kid, I had those blueprints. I took them out of the vinyl pouch with the single snap on the front and unfolded each sheet with the greatest of care. Seeing them brought to life after all of these years I found myself having to remember to breath as you went through each deck - naming the different areas - MOST of which I actually knew before they were mentioned and/or the section titles faded into view! You have done a major service to the living memory of these Constitution class ships, and you will find that I am not the only one that your considerable effort will move to the depth that you have me. Though I am not clear at this moment of the specific "how", but you, Sir, are to be richly rewarded. Though I feel that is not the reason that you brought this into a sharable reality for others to enjoy, but when "love" (of what you apparently do so well) is combined with such an insightful and caring "effort" (your obvious willingness to take massive action) as evidenced by what you have done here, life has a way of ensuring that your status is elevated and the potential for needs you may have to simply be eliminated. Should you allow such a thing to take place, in the near future we will have the opportunity to speak. Sincerely and without hesitation, Max Laing, D.

I hope to see videos on the other Starship classes that carried the name Enterprise from the NX Class to the Constitution Refit Class to the Excelsior Refit Class to the Ambassador Class to the Galaxy Class to the Sovereign Class and other ship classes like the Defiant Class.

As a ten-year old, I enjoyed these drawings as much as I enjoyed the rest of "The Making of Star Trek" by Steven E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry, and I took special delight in the drawings, as I had finished my seventh grade drafting class, and these increased my appreciation for the work Franz Josephs accomplished. Decades later after being in the USNavy and working in the shipyards for a couple more decades, I completely understood the drawings, at best, would be a snapshot in time detailing the ship as it was in one iteration and understanding upgrades, refits and minor changes would cause some lazer variations could surprise the actual users. To me, this was the canon behind the canon and would, of course, be open to to change.

02:40 Actually, way way back in the mid-1960s, when Gene Roddenberry was first coming up with the idea of Star Trek, he wrote about how the primary hull can separate from the secondary hull in case of emergencies. He also wrote about the holodeck. The original series never used either idea, primarily because of budgetary and technical limitations. Older Star Trek fans like myself spent years dreaming about these possibilities until a brand new series called Star Trek - The Next Generation brought these exciting possibilities to life.

I recall reading that the primary hull was designed to be aerodynamic because that part of the ship was originally intended to land on a planet while the secondary hull stayed in orbit. However, doing that for most episodes would have slowed down the pace of the show. When the idea of the matter "Transporter" came along, it allowed a much faster change of scenes, getting the crew down to a planet in just seconds instead of minutes of film time. And that is why Roddenberry used it. Beam me up Scotty!
