[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: Enterprise A was the most "top-heavy" ship in the feet as far as command goes! [/QUOTE]Actually, she was probably the closest to being realistic. The vessel in the U.S. Navy that comes closest to the level of importance of the E-A is the aircraft carrier. On a carrier, the CO, the XO, the chief medical officer, the chief engineer, and the commander of the air group are all usually of O-6 (captain) rank. This is one reason why I thought Riker shouldn't have been demoted back to commander after the end of BOBW. BTW, I always thought it was interesting that of the three captains aboard the E-A, Kirk was lowest in terms of seniority, and yet he was the skipper of the ship.[/qb][/QUOTE]the rank system doesn't seem to work quite the same in star trek as it does in the US Navy. if one is in the command division, one gets a command of some sort at captain (or before). i don't think that 2 command captains (regardless of seniority differences) would be allowed to serve on the same crew. one can get a command before the rank of captain, but a captain always gets a command (whether it be a space station or starship). that's my interpretation.
