If a 500 kt Cruiser would also be 500m long, then we would be closer to sci-fi mainstream......

May be not a length, but a volume certainly. After all, when we speak about ship displacement it is in fact a measure how much water do we need to sink her

Certainly, it can not be water for starships. May be vaccum ?

It does have non-zero "zero" density after all !
