[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] The Commanding Officer = Captain thing has always really annoyed me. I assume its due to the Navy's policy of calling a CO "Captain" regardless of actual rank, which must have confused Paramount into thinking that all COs are Captains. I really sympathised with Riker and his continuous refusal to take his own command, as I would definitely prefer to be XO of a behemoth like the Enterprise than CO of some piddly little Oberth or Miranda. DS9 seemed to start getting it right by giving Dax and Worf command of the Defiant at various points, but made themselves look silly with the Prometheus thing. I think it should really have been: Galaxy, Nebula, Sovereign etc: Captain Excelsior, Akira, Prometheus, Intrepid etc: Commander Defiant, Norway, Saber etc: Lieutenant Commander And the flagship should definitely have an Admiral on it. Thats what it means after all, as Admirals "fly their flag" on a ship. Big ships like Aircraft Carriers always have Admirals on, in addition to the CO. [/QB][/QUOTE]
