Description The Kennedy Class Carrier is a TMP era design by me, based off of Christopher Donovan's TOS era design. [link]

Seeing if a refit would help fix her problems...I think it came out better than expected.

The original design, over at Starship Schematics Database... [link]

A bit. But as she doesn't enter the atmosphere, it's not a problem.

This is another cool design.  It's sort of Galactica-ish.  Launch tubes out the port and starboard, and recovery bay this time at the fore end.

I think you did it a fair justice to a refit, keep it in theme to the series and made it look more functional!
Nicely done!

Thanks...But I can't help but have the secondary remind me of an old clipper or galleon.

Hm, being a fan of Star Trek for most of my life. I have to say that this design seems a little impractical for starfleet.
There would be a lot of structural stress on the neck of the vessel and makes the ship look really lopsided. I would've integrated the saucer section of the ship directly into the secondary hull and move the warp nacelles to perhaps directly on top of the saucer section.
That's just my thoughts on it.

Never said it was a good design. I was working from someone else's TOS design. So I had to stick with the overall look of the original.

I was trying to see if I could make the old design work.
