Captain James T Kirk

[Plumster]

In the trailer, we see Kirk wearing the rank of Captain.

Here's some conjecture - what we saw was the Kobayashi Maru test.......

"This is the Kobayashi Maru, 19 weeks out of Altair 6, we have struck a Space Squid and have lost all power. Our hull is penetrated and we have sustained many casualties. Can you assist us Enterprise? Can you assist us?"

Do they actually have cadets dress the part for that?

TWOK seems to bear this out. Officers and enlisted men were dressed appropriately.

It's probably a morale booster to feel like a real officer when sitting in that simulator room.

I have a feeling that theKobayashi Maru test has absolutely nothing to do with this movie.

No, there weren't. Saavik wasn't wearing a Captain's rank during her test.

No, there weren't. Saavik wasn't wearing a Captain's rank during her test.

And if you read Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, you'd know she was also wearing a 'cranberry' undershirt.

Which is the color for a cadet.

Saavik was addressed as "Captain" during her KM, but she was still wearing her lieutenant insignia.

 

[Captain X]

It's traditional to address ship commanders as "captain", regardless of the rank they hold.
