I believe that it is mentioned in the Star Fleet Technical Manual, on
the page with the stats and drawings of the dreadnought.

BTW, just what was the Excelsior (Is that the right ship?  Whatever 
that beast that James Sikk (sp?) commanded in movie #3)?  I thought
it was a dreadnought. 

Also BTW, there have been at least TWO refits of the Enterprise. 
She was refitted once before, after the command of Capt. Pike, before
Kirk first took command of her.o
