Is T'Pal alive? I feel it wouldn't be appropriate to name a ship after someone still living.

No reason other than it would be funny.

The thing most people don't realize about most sci-fi ships and most real spacecraft is that most of their volume is basically empty space; I pretty much assume that the mass of the ship listed is specifically dry mass not including fuel, atmosphere, or expendables (Eg, probes, photon torpedos, spare self-sealing stem bolts...) Which tend to make a lot of sci-fi numbers more reasonable.
When they're not wrong in the Other direction and making one wonder why someone is using ploy-trans-uranics or neutronium for large portions of the ship's structure....
Why not peanut hamper then? it has a degree of mathematical perfection.

What's the density of a wet ship, to compare?

I look forward to them hating it because it's over-armed and too good at science. Just to make sure we're all annoyed.

Depends on the ship.
But especially for spacecraft, that is, IRL spacecraft, the difference tends to be significant. Tyranny of the Rocket Equation being what it is.
But even wet navy ships can be a third or more consumables by mass, fully loaded to specification.

@Sayle, I had someone make this comment;
Followed by @OneirosTheWriter commenting it could show up here
Given how ad-hoc and bespoke Starfleet handling of weird science events can be, this wouldn't surprise me in the least!
