I'm a programmer, a Kentuckian, a veteran, and a progressive. I helped send a spaceship to the moon.
Many beginners struggle with understanding that a pawn, on its first move, can move to either the 3rd or the 3rd rank (or the 7th or the 6th rank, for black).

I found a shaky source estimating the Enterprise-D has 9,000,000 square feet of deck, and this would only be enough soup to cover every deck to a depth of 1/16 of an inch.

In short, the Enterprise is so huge that this amount of soup is not even close to enough to sink her.

Not even close, imo.

You need a cross sectional area to convert a length to a volume. If we assume the cross sectional area is the area of a typical large-ish soup bowl (8 inch diameter circle), you end up with about 100,000 gallons of soup, which would be about 400 tons of mass.
