Because that would make for a short lived little ship if the D'D ever turned.

They pulled that in the Opening Video to Star Trek: Armada. Worf took the Defiant into the hollow section, letting the pulse phasers loose on the rear section. As she left, they let loose mines from rear launchers, blowing the port wing off.

Plot fate helps with such things. When dealing with a ship that has a crew onboard, it would be a bit harder.

I'm hoping to find a good CGI of the Scimitar as well

Rochey, I was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder why a smaller ship never tried to fly right threw that BIG opening.
It was tried in Shatner's novel
The Return

I love this, and really wish we saw more TOS "Constitution Family" ships around. The fact that we never saw the Saladin/Hermes, etc is quite disappointing, as they're really a great design.

We didn't see any of those Franz Joseph designs because Roddenberry put the kibosh on them as soon as he fell out with Joseph - I believe he was afraid of having to pay Joseph for his work.

The guy may have created 'Trek, but in the end, he was just a greedy, womanizing douchebag.
Plus, he only wrote a few episodes out of how many? It may have been his creation, but it sure wasn't his creativity that made the show great.

To be fair on that side, he was the one who created the entire concept and produced it.
