I was speaking in general response instead of quoting directly. We just don't really know what the directors/producers are basing the measurements on.
Possibly Snickers bars, I don't think they lost too much sleep over technical details.
The measurement on the website are indeed given in feet. In case of the Battlestar Galactica, the length is 4640 ft, which is indeed only 5 times larger than a modern aircraft carrier, but the width is given as 1820 ft, which is 8-10 times larger than modern aircraft carriers and the height as 580 ft, which is 3-4 times higher than an aircraft carrier is from keel to mast (of which the island represents what, 2/3? 1/2?). So in terms of volume, the Galactica is still easily 200 times bigger than an aircraft carrier. Basestars are somewhat longer than the Galactica at 5100 ft, so presumably the other measurements are also in the same order of magnitude.
Those seem like reasonable measurements to me: if they were much bigger, it would be hard to believe that one could build entire fleets of them with the resources from only a handful of planets...
The fighter wing seems prety small, so the amount of crews to service them seems minimal to keep them going.

I feel cheated, we didn't get to see Captain Adama fly through a bunch of bodies after the destruction of the Olympic carrier. That is obviously what happened or it wouldn't be bothering him
He was even shown to be looking inside the windows for any sign of life. It was clear that it was dimly lit and motionlesss in the vessel, so it's odd that they have him being all weepy over an empty ship ... well, an empty ship filled with nukes.

Perhaps the size vs crew difference can be explained away by the fact they needed to carry as much ordinance as they could get out of Ragnor. I couldn't guess about regular supplies, other than they've got a lot of cargo space. Or an alternate explaination is the ship survived a direct hit by a nuclear torpedo. That's a lot of armor between the blast and the crew.

the cylons suck, the killbots from starsiege would have stapled people to the windows and gave them all radios so they could scream all the way plumetting towards the Galactica.
Perhaps, but they had precious little time before the rest of the fleet moved on, so they probably just jetisoned the survivors to make room for the nukes.
And it was still a directly-on-the-hull hit by a nuke. A little bit of the blast kills you dead without proper armoring. Enough of the blast reach the ship to send it into an uncontrolled spin. That's a lot of mass to move about like that.
