Not Ten Forward.

Those weird deck numbers only apply to the turboshafts.
My head-canon has it since that particular ship was apparently a rush-job to give Kirk a new command, the engineers took pre-built sections of a 'planned-but-not-yet-started' starbase and put them into the Enterprise-A to get it done.

And nobody had gotten around to changing the preprinted nomenclature yet.

That also gives me a reason for Scotty to have hit his head on a cross beam...
That particular section of the ship was from another half-begun project someplace and isn't normally located in that exact spot on a starship.

It's pretty obvious to me from Scotty's laments earlier in the movie that the Enterprise-A is not exactly up to his years of engineering expectations.
:techman:

I'm more concerned with why one turboshaft on the Enterprise-A would be THAT TALL. The numbers can be more or less rationalized away as referring to turboshaft sections. Unless this turboshaft starts out at the very bottom of the bow of the secondary hull and travels straight up the neck to the impulse deck it just doesn't work.

Actually it doesn't really work even in that instance but still. :lol:
