At the maximum interpreted rate, one-kilogram missiles would leave the ship at ninety-six tons per minute. Ten minutes of fire would therefore equal roughly one percent of the cruiser’s entire published mass, before accounting for launchers, fuel, structure, machinery, or crew spaces. A Gerald R. Ford-class carrier is much shorter yet about as heavy as the fictional ship’s stated displacement. An explicitly personal estimate of 906,000 tons would better fit the vessel’s size, materials, capacity, and firing loads.

Ammunition mass and displacement plausibility
Missile expenditure and a Gerald R. Ford-class comparison show why the stated 96,000-ton displacement is implausibly low for a 1.3-kilometre cruiser.
