25 cubic meters seems way to small. It looks a lot like a typo (250m3), or an error (square meters instead of cubic).
Well, FASA's cargo units were 1.5x1.5x3meters in size (6.75 cubic meters). Using a 3 meter deck height, that gives a 2.88 sq. meter "footprint" for each 25 cubic meter cargo unit....
That would mean that a Constitution-class ship (IIRC) would have cargo areas that add up to some 172.8 square meters of deck space (assuming single-deck height). Sounds about right to me at first glance...
