Since we know the length of a Slammer missile, and hence know the size of the F-302, we also know the size of the hangar doors on the Daedalus, from which we can calculate a size for the Daedalus.
Too bad I don't have any useful program installed
Assuming the hangar doors on the Prometheus are the same size as the ones on Daedalus we can also calculate a size for the Prommie.

Ya know... the only offensive weapons I can recall any Battlecruiser ever using are the Rail-gun implacements, (slow) missiles, and the F-302 fighters. I have yet to recall seeing any energy based weapons being used on any Battlecruiser.
I do recall Thor mentioning that the Asgard were giving us Shields (which we've seen) and weapons... but I've never yet seen any of those weapons. Where, oh where could they be?? At the moment, the most effective ship-to-ship weapon the Battlecruiser has are its Rail-guns. The use of the Teleporter to beam nukes was effective for a while, but with the countermeasures, it's useless.
For the time being, the only thing I've seen the Battlecruisers having going for them are excellent shields, and very fast hyperdrive engines. Offensively, I'm not yet impressed, or convinced that a Battlecruiser could really defeat a Ha'tak mothership. A Ha'tak could easily shoot down the missiles a BC-303 could launch, and I'm not sure how effective the Rail-guns would be against Goa'uld shields. On the otherhand, it would take considerably many shots from a Ha'tak (as seen in Lost City) before the shields would fail, and if it came to running, Earth ships (thanks to the Asgard) are much faster than their Goa'uld counterparts.The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala

I have looked into this and did some scaling from pics and est. of different lengths, it looks like the ships are around +200 meters. We will not know the real number untill we get a tech book from the Stargate series or from the series eps."Khattam-Shud," he said slowly, "is the Arch-Enemy
of all Stories, even of Language itself. He is the Prince of
Silence and the Foe of Speech. And because everything ends,
because dreams end, stories end, life ends, at the finish
of everything we use his name. 'It's finished,' we tell one
another, 'it's over. Khattam-Shud: The End.'"

ok. to answer the major confusion on page three of this thread:

""ITS A TV SHOW"".
and no. rail guns do not do much damage to other ships. loads of damage to small craft like fighters. but to capital ships, it does damage, but minimal.Homer: WHEN PIGS FLY!...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry we had to defend ourselves against an unwarranted attack. I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell! As with everything else it's the thought that counts.
