Besides, the Captain is James Kirk. Haven’t you seen Star Trek? Kirk’s ship almost always has some kind of disaster shortly after leaving dock.
As an aside, Captaining a new class of ship like this one is a sure sign of being a rising star, which means Cpt. Kirk will likely be given greater commands in the future. He should be just about done with his command tour on the Zumwalt when the Enterprise is ready to go down the ways.
What’s his middle name?
The Enterprise doesn't even hit the fleet until 2025 so Kirk will either be a flag officer or retired by then. Regardless, since he isn't a pilot then he can't command an aircraft carrier.
