It helps that containers are a standard size.

I know we only ever see a handful of rooms, that’s fine, but with over 100 crew they always all have personal quarters that are probably the square footage of 3/4’ish containers.

150m in diameter is one way to think about it. But then it’s also 8 containers long, or 25 containers circumference at the largest point down to no more than a few in circumference at the bridge.

You know, that seems tiny, it’s like there’s no volume left for the hardware that needs to be between every room and all over the hull

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