Whats up with the light mass of ships in the WC universe? A modern day Nimitz-class CVN is about 350 meters in length (about the size of a Confed destroyer), but displaces almost 100,000 standard tons full load.
Even in other universes ships are typically much greater in mass. For example:
1) A Star Trek Intrepid-class Starship (about 300 meters in length) is 700,000 metric tonnes.
2) A Babylon 5 Omega-class Destroyer at 1.7 kilometers is 44 million metric tonnes.
While a Bengal-class Carrier in the WCU measuring between 690-700 meters in length comes in lighter than a modern nuclear carrier. What gives?
