How large compared to an ISD would NCC-1701D aka Enterprise-D be?

IIRC, the enterprise-D is supposed to be just under a kilometer long, so it
would be just under 2/3rds the length of an imperial-class star
destroyer(1.6 Km or a mile)

Okay, next question: how big would the original Enterprise (original series)
be? (somewhat serious)
How about the aircraft carrier Enterprise (WWII)? (somewhat not serious)
Or modern Big-E aircraft carrier? (somewhat not serious)

Or, an even more geeky question, Could Mighty Mouse beat up Superman?
(really not serious)

aircraft carrier--they were the same length--front of saucer to back of
nacelle is the same length as bow to stern.

1701-D was somewhat wider than the aircraft carrier, though ;)

1701 from TOS, as well as 1701 and 1701-A from first 6 movies is half the
length of 1701-D (again, IIRC)

1701 = 24 decks, 1701-D = 42 decks (all from my dusty recollection)

So there you are.

(...) That was a major screw-up in the movie! The shaft they were in is only a little over 115 feet deep. Unless they suddenly decided that all the decks were half height... Actually, (according to the deck plans) the NCC-1701-A has fewer decks than (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
