How wide is the Executor (and other ships of its class) ?

You know, that's not been mentioned "in game" they list the ship's length but no other dimensions. While you're at it. How tall is the ship?

Going from screencaps from TESB and ROTJ:
- a ventral view of an ISD occluding the massive ventral docking bay of the Executor gives an ISD length to tounge end width ratio of at least 208:165, or at least 1.25:1 (an overestimate (upper limit) because the ISD is in the foreground and is thus larger than it would be)
- an oblique ventral view of the ship gives a tounge end width to Executor beam of at least 133:345, or 0.38:1 (this is an underestimate, as not all of the Executor's beam is in the shot)
Combining these two limits, we obtain an ISD length: Executor beam width ratio of 0.48:1 (rounding again in the ISD's favor to produce an underestimated lower limit).
Going from the canonical (Star Wars: Incredible Cross Sections, by David West Reynolds) length of the ISD stated as 1600 m, this gives a fairly good estimate of beam (ie, Executor) width as 3330 m (again rounded in the ISD's favor)
