As for Sulu being Spock's XO, I don't think so. If he was assigned to the ship, why would he be talking about "any chance to go aboard Enterprise" in the travel pod? Remember, in the novelization (and presumably the scene cut out of the travel pod sequence) he was supposed to be about to take command of the Excelsior.
Oh, and for another combo: TAS: "Yesteryear" CO: Capt. James T. Kirk XO: Commander Thelin (the Andorian who took Spock's place in the altered timeline).

Martin Madden. Clayton Webb. Bobby Kennedy. Whatever.
Oh, & "Prime Directive" had LT Styles in temporary command of Enterprise during the salvage/refit.

I think Barnaby ranked Taitt in 'Descent'
In the 38th issue of Gold Key's Star Trek comic, called 'One of Our Captains is Missing,' Captain Kirk is temporarily replaced by Captain Zarlo for a cruise.
In two issues of Pocket's Trek novels, one features Spock being temporarily replaced by Cmdr. Varth Regev, a Klingonoid something, and one features him being temporarily replaced by Cmdr. Leonidas (Mindshadow and Black Fire, i think)
In 'Killing TIme', the alternate Enterprise was commanded by Spock and Kirk was only an Ensign in some sort of Vulcan-dominated timeframe.

So at one point or another everyone but Worf and Geordi had command of the E-D?
Picard Riker Data [Gambit] Crusher [Descent] Troi [can't recall]
Worf could get an honorable mention for commanding the Saucer section in Farpoint [that was Worf right?].
This leaves Geordi? Wow... seven years and everyone but Geordi gets a chance at commanding the ship.

Geordi was also one of the few officers to command the Enterprise during a seperation manuever. Too bad they didn't utilize saucer seperation just about ever again ...

Well, Worf was the captain for a little while in "Conundrum" before the crew figured out who they were...
Come to think of it, even Wesley had control of the ship for a short time in "The Naked Now". So, basically, the only one who never got to be in charge was Yar.

Ro, Guinan, Pulaski, Mot, O'Brien and Barclay all never got to command though, so it was supporting cast restricted i believe... but enough lieutenants floated in and out of the chair, the chick in 'Emissary'; the chick in 'Disaster'; etc...

Yeah, several people "stood bridge watches", even if it usually was one of the big heroes who occupied the chair when something interesting happened.
However, Barclay did get to command the ship, in "Nth Degree". Not by Starfleet decree or anything, but he was in de facto command.
And of course, Guinan was always in command. She just let the victims of her manipulations sit in the big chair and think they were flying the ship. But the hand on the steering wheel can't beat the hand on the beer tap.

I always thought Picard was doing Guinan. No, seriously. Everybody got laid on that show except the Captian. Well, and Wesley. But he was good at science. Even Barclay had the holodeck. Wesley was stuck with his cadet meat-corder.
No, I take that back. Cap got some on Riza, once. Presumably. And on that planet in Insurrection. But otherwise he was always bombing with Beverly, even after he'd get her drunk. Sheesh.
No wonder Picard spent all of his time reading Moby Dick. He was hunting his whale in Sick Bay. Uh, yeah.
As for the actual topic, It's pretty obvious that they shouldn't have specified how many enterprises there were. There will always be an Enterprise in Star Trek, some where. Even if it's in passing, like on Voyager (of all the people Q could bring to Voyager, he picks Riker? WTF?)

that's a hell of an epitaph.
Here Lies Wesley Crusher
'Everyone on the ship was getting laid but him, but to make up for it, he was good at science.'

As seen on "Porn Star Trek": To the theme of Madonna's "like a virgin" Weasley Fluffer prowls ten forward, looking for a place to "manual override."
Dykanna Troy and William Stryker enter, and give young Weasley a show he'll never forget while Gyney gives with the drinks.
Weasley was good at science. That's enough sometimes.
