Admiral Gardner wasn't in charge of Starfleet, he simply took over whatever Admiral Forrest's job was. Starfleet at the time had a "Command Council" Forrest regularly mentioned in the first two seasons to whom he answered to.
Where does the Ring Ship fit into canon?

I didn't mean Starfleet. I meant the NX Project, which Forrest and then Gardner oversaw and was producing NX ships (like the "USS Enterprise" and "USS Columbia"). It's possible that the NX-03, 04, 09, were all painted with USS on the hull, per Gardner (or someone else new on the scene). The NX Project, in my belief, led to the starship programs seen in use during the Federation.
Eh, I would think that the NX ships just followed the same customs as the rest of Starfleet.
And might be paving the way for something, or then not.
For all we know, the Romulan War had Starfleet remove all pennant paint so the enemy would have to keep on guessing as to how many NX ships there really were and how many they had already taken care of. Or then paint all the ships as vicious cats to counter the Romulans' flipping of the bird at them.

That's only because we never saw any of those ships up close, so the effects people weren't going to waste time putting in detail that the viewers would never see.
