That doesn’t change the fact that nothing in any official lore (or even any behind the scenes lore documentation) says Spock was the first Vulcan in starfleet.In "The Cage" (set in 2254) he is a Lieutenant, then by the time of TOS S1 (2265/66) he was referred to several times as Lieutenant Commander (despite wearing Commander braids) and finally as Commander in "Amok Time" (2267), so he'd not exactly been pushing himself to excel in rank over an 11 year period. If we take what was said in JJTrek 1 that someone could make Captain in 8 years, then a Vulcan classmate of Spock's could easily have surpassed him in rank and been given command of the Intrepid and then pulled together an all Vulcan crew. I know, it's a bit of a stretch, but all things are possible, lol.
It’s a Star Trek urban legend.
There was also a USS R.E. Lee in the game Starfleet Command
