Star Trek: Inside the Klingon D7 Battlecruiser

[@billbolton7108]

That very first one is a D-4 Battle cruiser a 22nd century design

Don't rag on the guy. This video took a lot of work and effort even if it isn't perfect. I enjoyed it, thank you.

[@Halfscreen]

I appreciate that!

[@jonathanbair523]

@@Halfscreen I enjoyed the video, tho I do find it hard to place the ships deck how they match up with the saucer vs back main body area... It would have been nice if you did deck 1 together, then went down to deck 2 and so on.... Rather then doing 1-10 in the saucer and then the back of the ship...

[@tonysworkbench6070]

Very interesting and well-done guide to the interior of the D7. However, not one of the exterior renders depicts the D7!

[@The_dude_fantastic]

You're right the exterior is a concept Klingon D4 model not a Klingon D7.

[@jlomesou]

This isn't a D-7 Battle cruiser. This looks more like an earlier design from late 22nd Century/ Early 23rd Century Klingon vessel. That would make it a D-5 or 6. Also, lounges would not be found on a Klingon ship. What you will find are combat training areas, hand to hand fighting gyms, and an area to do Klingon rituals. They don't clutter their vessel with non-essentials, as Koloth once said. Everything about their ships is made for combat.

[@Virtue2721]

100% this is a D-6. It has the reinforcing wires and open backed warp nacelles.

[@jonathanbair523]

I am shocked there is so many "medical rooms"... In TNG when Worf lost control of his body he wanted Riker to bring him a knife "To die a warriors death,and not be a cripple..."

[@zasher7800]

I have doubts a klingon battleship would have such extensive medical facilities. :D

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

A Starfleet officer under the nx-01 Enterprise Latina Reed another clan of Captain Archer stowed Photon torpedo technology from the Klingon it wasn't deliver Espionage it was just an opportunity but he couldn't pass up

[@inkermoy]

Listening to the description of the interior spaces I came to the conclusion that you used the fanmade blueprints from the 1970's, and that you acknowledge the somewhat dated reference (I got the same set of blueprints). The layout suggests a more "human" approach to needs and comforts that fit in with TOS than the warrior culture it morphed into in TNG. Gotta love those "Inspirational Media Centers". I'm sure if they did blueprints today the crew quarters wouldn't be so spacious, but may have several more dentist's offices!

[@jimhills1920]

Maybe 23rd Century Klingons worried more about dentists. As you can tell from the other versions of Trek, later Klingons not so much interested. 😆

[@kennethcollins7665]

Talks about the Klingon D7, then shows a ship that looks very little like a D7. Nowhere in either TOS nor the movies, do you see any of the piping/support structure that is shown on these illustrations. And I don’t remember seeing any of those on the 1975 blueprints either. There are also critical differences in the upper engineering section as well. I just verified these by watching “Elan of Troyius” and the Klingon battle against V’ger. Nor are there any see through portions of the warp nacelles, they’re solid. Also, the bridge module was equipped with an impulse engine in case it had to separate from the engineering section in case of crew mutiny. Not sure what ship you’re showing us, but it sure isn’t a D7.

[@tharding1797]

agree 100% , that model is definitely not a D7 .

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Remember in the Star Trek:Voyager season 7 episode 'Prophecy' where we got to see a Klingon D7 BattleCruiser again that was found in the Delta Quadrant by the crew of the U S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 man that was a neat episode seeing a classic Klingon ship we haven't seen since the T.O.S. series going up against an advanced Federation Starship.

[@oldgordo61]

Or a highly advanced state of the art medical facillities, Given thier warriior mindset and culture. Military combat training and armanant design and manufacturing was much more emphasized than with medical care and training.. And quarters of the crew would be pretty spartan, @@Halfscreen

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

@@oldgordo61 That's mostly for Klingon Crews later in the Movie era and post into the TNG era as they began to embrace more the warrior belief they had. If anything given they were supposed to be the alternative super power compared to the Federation. Its very likely they had Klingon ships that was purposefully decked out with the best Klingon Tech had to offer to show boat the empires capabilities, So Klingon ships looking like high tech wonders inside instead of looking one step to looking like a tramp hualer was more likely. By the time you get to the movie era, you likely had older klingon ships running around and becoming a little worn out. The more Warrior aspect and culture starting to come into being.

That is not a D-7 Klingon Battlecrusier. Your model is the D-4 from Star Trek: Enterprise. You are about 100 years out of date.

[@jacobsteele7138]

Actually, it is not a straightforward D-4 model. It is a modified Klingon battle cruiser based off the standard D-4. In "reality" it is a sub variant. It is classified by the Federation as a D-4.002 because it has separate bathrooms for both female and male Klingon warriors.

The red circle on the front that you label as a reconnaissance sensor (3:00) is clearly a torpedo launcher on the ship depicted in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (opening scene with three vessels entering/attacking V'ger). Also in TMP the shot zooms in on the uppermost dome that you labeled as life support (2:10) before transitioning to the Klingon bridge, implying that structure is the bridge shown on screen.

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

By the way, when you do videos like this, can you compare somebody's ships to the size to America's biggest battleships or aircraft carriers? I wanna see the size differenperhaps? Can you do a video like that to my friend? Thank you very much, appreciate it if you could.

[@frankphillips5533]

I am not familiar with the support struts from the hull to the pod or the struts along the trailing edge of the hull. They do not appear in any of the footage I've ever seen in movies comic's or model kits. Is this something from the games?

[@TheRezro]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but extended neck play important role as psychological armour. When D7 was introduced, most ships still did have directional shielding. Klingons make they bridges look exposed and venerable, when in reality they did have powerful localized shielding. This tactic fail against Federation, what has tendency of disabling enemy ships and as such prefer to attack drive system, what by comparison was relatively lightly protected.

[@colonelblastpack169]

beautiful ship and video

[@Halfscreen]

Thanks for visiting

[@Alphasiera1701]

You do such a great job with these videos and the effort which goes into them is obvious, which is why it infuriates me when I see the mistakes which are made. Biggest mistake here, no offence intended, is that it's a D4. You can tell by the sublight engine configuration and the extra support booms along the neck structure. The impulse engines on the D7 were aligned horizontally across the rear of the hull, not in vertical banks, as is shown here. It's clearly a D4.

[@Halfscreen]

Yeah, unfortunately, I just didn't have a D7 3D model, so I have to use something that is a close substitute to save me time on modeling.

[@Alphasiera1701]

Fair enough. And I totally understand. Like I said no offence intended. Your internal modelling and attention to detail are excellent. It's all well researched and mostly correct, but it is a nuisance when something like that trips up an otherwise excellent video.
