What is the age of the Enterprise (NCC-1701)?

[PhaserLightShow]

We all make mistakes.

Of course I make mistakes. And so do you. And everybody in the universe (as far as I know).
But, we have not gone through Starfleet Training or Starfleet Captaincy as I am sure Morrow has.
A reasonable explanation might be that they simply didn't have the material to make age judgments.
But, in this case, they do (all in the 1980's, by Wrath of Khan). They have The Animated Series (and evidence of Robert April), they have The Menagerie, and they have Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Even Starfleet captains make mistakes!

I am not referring a Captain, only an Admiral.

You know that he meant all Starfleet officers.

How would I know? He said Captains.
Not all Starfleet officers are Captains. Some are. Others are higher (Admirals), others are lower (Enlisted, Ensign, Lieutenant j.g., Lieutenant, Lt. Commander, Commander).

You might want to watch more Star Trek. Admirals make mistakes. Admiral Kirk makes a big one in Wrath of Khan. He makes a little one in Voyage Home.

I see that 'ignore' didn't last long.

Every Starfleet officer is different in some way. I know Admirals make mistakes but I was responding to a post that talked about Captains and another which said it wasn't about Captains. Morrow is not a Captain.
By the way, what was Adm. Kirk's mistake in Star Trek Four?

@PhaserLightShow wants you to look at the fanfiction thread, "Star Trek: The Prime Directive" which was created by PhaserLightShow

It did and is lasting. But I decided to Show Ignored Content (a leap of trust I really wouldn't normally make). I made it so I could respond but still ingore.

No, your point was someone with Morrow's training and position shouldn't make mistakes.

You don't recall Kirk saying "one little mistake" in the great hospital caper in STIV?

I was clearly following on from your suggestion that "Starfleet Captaincy" should make Morrow infallible, as you well know.

How do you know he is from a colony on Venus?

I don't. I made it up because the math worked out. So it was part suggestion to explain the error, part joke.

I don't like jokes. And take us to Condition Yellow (to protect from them).

Uhh... OK. Good to know, I guess.

Better hang onto your hat then. Because most of us here enjoy Star Trek but don't treat as some infallible tome. Many of us will inject humor where we think it fits.

Either not from the United States or younger, I take it? Means your going to be in for a bumpy ride because of your expectations here.

So, not a fan of metaphors, either?
