For All Mankind
Obligatory disclaimer that figuring this out is not at all important for a story and chances are there is no reason to list your spaceship numbers.

That said, I like designing spaceships and thinking about them more than is strictly necessary. Incidentally, that's about a 60 meter spacecraft and it only weighs 7k tonnes because it has a solid core of silicon carbide runnning through it. If you need a number, here's some density figures for real world vehicles. Pick something from the table that you like. If you wanted to go for something more complex like what you've done, you'd need to actually know what your ship is made of, but if all you want is a rough figure for a story there's really no need to go that deep.
