This thread's purpose is to discuss the relative size of various ships/constructs in the Stargate universe. Only ships that have appeared in more than one episode (not counting stock-footage) are candidates to be added to the scale.
NOTICE: This thread is to discuss relative and practical sizes of the constructs in the scales below. Various objects are re-sized by the 3d departments who work on the show, depending on the practicum of the shot- I.e.: The super gate was stated in ‘Beachhead’ to be 300-400 meters wide, but later in that episode, as well as in ‘Camelot’, and ‘The Pegasus Project’, the Super gate was shown as being far larger that the original 300-400 estimation. One could surmise that the individual super gate segments either expand, or connect to one another to form completed segments which then connect to one another to form an operational super gate. This increase in size was no doubt done so the Ori Warships whose only method to get into the Milky Way was the super gate, could be made many times larger than any human, Goa’uld, or even Asgard vessel, and make the Ori seem far more powerful.
Basic estimates:
Prometheus (303-class): 375 meters.
Daedalus (304-class): 586 meters (credit to boberth2o for scaling)
Ha’tak: 680 meters
F-302: 6 meters:
Al’kesh: 36.5 meters
Anubis Super-weapon: 5168 meters
Cargo Ship: 10.5 meters
Beliskner (Asgard Mothership): 1088 meters
O’Neill (Asgard advanced warship): 1632 meters
Fifth’s/Replicarter’s Mothership:
Ori Warship: 3196 meters
Ori Fighter: 9.25 meters
Wraith Hive Ship: 11km
Atlantis:3300 meters
Here is a chart of some of the ships from the scalings above:

Except for Atlantis, which was made by Shane Benson (Vilandra from the Sci-fi meshes forums)
Credit for the Wraith Cruiser, Ori Supergate Wraith Scout, and the Ancient Warship goes to Aiden Ford. Liam887 made the Halcyon cruiser and the Assault Carrier. ????*Co¬¬in L ??? made the Oribtal defense station, and the forerunner Keyship. All Under Heaven made the CCS-Class Battlecruiser and the Seraph fighter. =UnlimitedGuy= made the Longsword. Warsock made the Frigate.

PLEASE do not use sizes taken from 'Camelot' or 'Flesh and Blood' as arguments. The sizes in these two episodes are horribly out of proportion for 'dramatic effect'!
