Oh god they’re using the Future Pajamas
The not-quite-canon uniform that won't quite go away.
Conversely, the future uniforms always looked so thin, casually exhaling might cause them to burst at the seams (but to be fair, that's just a costume construction issue).
In an alternate future wasn't Nog the Captain of the Defiant?
The important thing to remember with the current novel continuity, the Federation and Starfleet have suffered severe losses, a situation which has created a lot of job vacancies and therefore a lot of people have been promoted who would not otherwise even be considered.
If there's one certainty, it's that the Picard series is almost certainly not going to use them.
Not exactly. The Defiant was actually decommissioned at that point, but was needed for that specific mission because technobabble. Nog was a captain, and commanded the Defiant for that mission.
Well for him, He is a Comander in rank, and the ship is a botanical/hydroponic/science ship so, its not a combat or explorer ship. And he's grown during the novel series, I find him quite a good and deep character!
All true, but they did say he likely wouldn't have been placed in command if it weren't for the Borg Invasion.
USS Emmitt Till, as much as I favour the tribute to the civil rights movement, Star Trek producers need to move beyond cultural references dominated by US history if it wants to portray a multi -speices Starfleet. There is no in universe reason for it.

Should have went with Emmitt Trill.
The audience is Human.
But the cultural references are not just human - they're American and European, overwhelmingly.
Those uniforms can go to hell.
And all humans are residents of the United States? Right?
Yes, a lot of the ship names are American-centric, but there are all the others like the Biko, the Tian An Men, the Akagi, the Gorkon, the Melbourne, the Copernicus, the Cairo, the Berlin, the Tsiolkovsky, the Hood, the Agamemnon, the Potemkin, the Repulse, the Vico, the Al-Batani, the Pasteur, the Emden, and more that I can't be bothered remembering or looking up.
The Akira
That’s true, but since DSC premiered, almost all Starfleet ship names and classes have been American-centric, mainly because Eaves (who named them all) can’t seem to look further than that, much like he can’t look further than ship designs that look the same regardless of what time period they’re supposed to be in. Honestly, the Emmett Till could be a DSC ship or a post-Nemesis ship at this point.
Eaves said he gave the DSC team a bunch of names, not just Canadian/British/American ones.
Oh lord this ship look horrible from the front and back
