When did Earth stop having armies or navies?

Did she get a rank bump?

Imdb calls her a lieutenant, but memory alpha says that she is a lieutenant commander.

Did everyone get a rank bump?
 
As I said multiple times on this Forum, I could go for a Trek show set on a colony, detailing the Life of the colonists.

A cop show could work particularly well in a place like Freecloud. Though that would be a very dark show.

Freecloud is about as perfect a setting as you would get for a cop show in Star Trek

Or what about, instead of another cop show (which often function as a form of copaganda), you do a story about a P.I. on Freecloud?

Yeah, I don't see a Freecloud cop show having much to go on.
"Wait, detective. You have to pack up and leave."
"Pack up and leave a murder investigation?"
"We already know who did it, Nausican mercenaries hired by that crazy Cardassian crime lord who calls himself Gul."
"Great, let's go make some arrests."
"Can't."
"Why the hell not?"
"Gul just bribed the Chief to look the other way. Which is why we have to pack and can't arrest anyone."

So an honest depiction of cops for once? ;)
 
I was wondering what would things like ships and submarines look like in the 22nd century or even the 24th century? Would they even still have a use for them?
Some seagoing ships from the 22nd (Ent.), 23rd (Kelvinverse), and 32nd (Disco) centuries.

I can see naval travel mostly preserved for leisure like how horse carts are used in a lot of industrialized countries nowadays, or how sailing ships are still used by hobbyists. Even if transporters eliminate the need to ferry goods across the ocean, people might still want to go on a cruise. We also still see people using hovercars and trams on various establishing shots throughout the series, even though they could theoretically just teleport to their destinations, so I guess many forms of naval transport that are used for crossing smaller distances are still in use, like ferries or the vaporetti of Venice.

TBH I wouldn't really be interested in a cop show set in the Star Trek universe, I just thought that if there was one a place like Freecloud would work best.

And yes, I agree a P.I. show would work very well on Freecloud. Stardust City Rag was pretty much a "Trek Noir" episode. They could even base the costumes on that time period, fused with some more futuristic elements.
That being said Noir isn't really my genre either, so it would likely be another new Trek show I wouldn't really watch but it would work very well of Freecloud

TBH, I'd be intrigued by a cop show that, while not in a lawless place like Freecloud, could take place in the frontier of the Federation that's still kind of untamed... TOS was already based on westerns and the frontier has always been portrayed along the same lines. The problem is, that the "new sheriff comes to a frontier town to keep the peace, but in space" premise has basically already been done as Deep Space Nine.

to me a trek cop show sounds a bit like murder-death-kill
