Another piece of evidence supporting this: given that the Star Destroyer and SuperStarDestroyer have at least similiar shaped bridges: if the bridges were the same size (which is a valid assumption), then the length is 17.6km. But if the SuperStarDestroyer itself was any shorter than this, its bridge would then be smaller than that of the Star Destroyer! I think it's fairly safe to assume that since the SSD is larger than the SD in every respect that its bridge would be either the same size or larger, thus making 17.6km the MINIMUM length of the SSD!! thought experiments are fun.. tee huh _lenny > He explains in exhaustive detail how you can clearly show that the Executor > is 11 times the length of a 1.6 KM Star Destroyer, or 17.6 km (11 miles) in > length.

(...) The Super Star Destroyer and the regualar Star Destroyer have the same bridge. In Empire Strikes Back, Han attaches his ship to the back of a Star Destroyer Bridge.

(...) Jason, unfortunately you've used a reference for the Executor class Super Star Destroyer length which falls for the old "5 mile fallacy" or to be more precise, "8 mile fallacy" (no, nothing to do with the new Eminem movie). Every "official" (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
