He should be just about done with his command tour on the Zumwalt when the Enterprise is ready to go down the ways.

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.

Pity, another chance missed. Well, maybe he’ll still be a Flag, so we can at least have Admiral Kirk and the Enterprise together.
