Who will captain the Phoenix? (Possible spoilers)

[Col. Newman]

This would be a question for Mitch or someone else who is in the US military but how long can someone be a major until he (or she ) is promoted. Also a Lt Col is to low IMO to be a ship commandar but then again my knowledge on the military is limitied

Well it probably depends on the size of the ship and the size of the crew. IIRC The Navy has ship Captains that aren't actually at the rank of Captain.

A Navy captain is different. They are like an air force or army col.

They are Air Force Colonels what is your point? The only comparison outside of SG of Military officers commanding ships is the Navy.

Navy Captain is of equal rank to a Colonel

yup

[Col. Shadow Quinn]

I'm betting 50,000 USD that the CO will be someone no one has ever heard of (except in spoilers of course).

Traditionally about 4-10 years and then it goes up from there. however there are special circumstances that allow a promotion quicker. And yeah a Lt. Col is a bit low for a ship commander. A full bird is more likely.

in "Pegasus Project" it went to Pegasus and took out an Ori Mothership and a Wraith Hiveship ... at once

Actually there would have been a slight delay.

Isn't Mitchell only a LT COL. he commanded one, granted it wasn't permenant but he still did.

iv said this in other threads but ill say it again, earth should mass produce the 303s coz there smaller and cheaper to build. instead of the beam weapons they could just fit it with ion cannons, have it reclasified as a destroyer and have 2 303s to escort each 304

Well technically it was never classified as anything, but I like your idea.
