Captain James Kirk takes command of his new ship! - GoFuckYourself.com

Captain James Kirk is ready to take command of his new ship - A destroyer by the name of USS Zumwalt.... His parents had a great sense of humor!

The commander of the U.S. Navy's sleek new guided-missile destroyer, which launched late last week in Maine, has a name to match its space-age look: Captain Kirk.

Captain James Kirk, the prospective commanding officer of USS Zumwalt, will lead the 610-foot vessel, the Navy's largest destroyer and first of three new Zumwalt-class ships "designed for littoral operations and land attack," the Navy said.

Kirk, a native of Bethesda, Md., was commissioned at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1990 and has served in a variety posts as a "surface warfare officer," according to his online bio. "Ashore, Captain Kirk has served as Executive Assistant to the Navy?s Chief of Legislative Affairs and as an Action Officer on the Joint Staff."

They couldn't give him the Enterprise, she was decommissioned last year and the new Enterprise won't be ready until 2025.

I wonder if he'll try the carbonite manoeuvre.
