A tweet from 25 March 2021 showing the starship Enterprise NCC-1701-A directly above a cargo vessel similar to the Dali. Edit: This cargo ship is 400m long and the Dali is 300m. The Enterprise is only 3/4 (305m vs. 400m) as long and perhaps 1/3 the volume of the ship. The tweet was by @ThatNeilGuy Neil Shurley. The tweet was quoted 23 hours later by Laura Mariani whose Twitter account has closed but is online on Mastodon at @lauramariani@mastodon.online, saying: somehow this brought it home for me in a way that comparisons to non-fictional vehicles did not.

OK. I now have a feel for it.
Edit: The Dali is 300m long, so the Enterprise-A is a mere 5m longer. The ship pictured is a larger design. It's carrying more than 20,000 containers to the Dali's 9,971.
