[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] I have never known the name of the captain character. It may very well be what you say. The captain of the "Yorktown" was portrayed by tennis pro Vijay Amitraj who also appeared in the 1983 James Bond film "Octopussy." That is what the "my backhand has definitely improved" joke was about in the movie and the tennis racket/tennis match joke during the minicab chase. I believe that he was a world-class tennis player and played at Wimbledon, but I don't know what awards he received at these tournaments. That's why I call him Captain Vijay to identify him as east Indian, his character in "Octopussy" was named Vijay. He came to a very bad end by the yo-yo saw blades in the Bond film. So I was hoping that other readers would recognize who I was talking about. In ST IV he had a line talking about the "Yorktown" losing all power and that the chief engineer was working on a solar sail to "sustain us." Its a pretty short scene and easy to miss if you blink.
