Is the "James Kirk" part a joke, or is that the real name of Zumwalt's Captain? Sorry, if this looks blue-eyed, I can't tell that from sarcasm.

The "Regimental Commander" of the military academy boarding school I went to was a James Kirk my freshman year. And his school rank was captain.

EDIT: Actually, the Zumwalt looks promising this way. Just add two nacelles and a saucer section.

EDIT: The Zumwalt bridge looks promising in another way. (Leiji Matsumoto) But instead of the 3 smaller screens, have a single 30x30 foot screen leaning forward at a 45 degree angle.

It's "James A. Kirk" though, not "James Theodore Kirk."
Thanks! I could have sworn the last time I watched Star Wars, he said his middle name was Theodore.
