The odds are it had to happen one day, but that's just perfect. |

All he needs to do now is change his middle name.

You know the higher brass will make that happen if the chance exists.

As much as I'd like to laugh, I've only seen the first two episodes of Voyager, so it's not my place

When Kirk takes the ship out for trials do you think he'll go back in time to get Spock?

I kinda feel sorry for the guy.
With a name like that, he'll never make it beyond Captain.

Unless the 'A' stands for 'Augustus'. Then he's even better!

He won't be commanding CVN-65, as she has been decommissioned. If he's still in the navy twelve years from now he might command CVN-80.

He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1990 so i'm guessing that maybe it was because at the time honoring some family ancestor was more important than a similarity to the name of a then barely known tv character.
