Like Jonah and the whale. Well, if Jonah were a Starfleet ship. Guess it's time for Plan B. Good thing they thought that far ahead.
Interesting tidbit about the origin of Federation ship registries. I hadn't heard that one before.

I picked that tidbit up listening to the J.J. Abrams commentary on the 2009 reboot. He had one of his people research it.
You might not remember all the way back to Episode 1 - this is the same scene, but told from Dolphin's POV. The pilot episode (the first I wrote for the series) told this moment from Justice Irons' POV.
There's a comparitive size chart for Star Trek ships up to the size of a borg cube -

The Defiant is so small it's really difficult to identify. The Hunter is just a little smaller than the Defiant - taller but shorter and not so wide. The Bestia is between 1/3 and 1/2 the size of a borg cube.
Thanks!! rbs
