The rank of Captain is generally held by the commanding officer of a starship. Captains may also serve as starbase commanders, the heads of experimental engineering teams, and head divisions of support personnel.

All known (canon) women captains in Starfleet.

Thanks to many contributors at Memory Alpha for the information, and TrekCore for the screencaps.

Reblog. Also, there is a Star Trek new series being launched on CBS All Access in 2017. Who would would like to see as Captain, or what kind of Captain (and crew, would you like to see?) tagging in @pinkrocksugar as well.

Soon to be joined by'Rainsford’ played by Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha on The Walking Dead and others) for Star Trek: Discovery. Rainsford is a Lt. Commander, the ‘Number One’ or Executive Officer in the series, at least to start, I can see them moving her up to the Captaincy before it’s all said and done, though. (Hopefully not waiting too long to do so)

Never not reblog this. Although Sonequa Martin-Green's character is renamed

In 1965 Cmdr Clarence Stoddard of VA-25 flying off the USS Midway (who was, sadly, shot down and killed in action the following year) dropped an unusual piece or ordnance from his A-1H Skyraider. A broken toilet. It was a commode that was going to be tossed overboard anyway, so the crews rigged up a fake fuse, added fins and devised a drop rack that could mate to an underwing weapon station, mounted it, and Stoddard took it out. It was said that this unusual porcelain 'bomb' whistled all the way to down to it's target. Brings a new meaning to the words 'dropping a deuce'

Since they announced that actress Jodie Whittaker will be the 13th Doctor on Doctor Who, and there are already people throwing tantrums online about it. Well, for those people spitting hate and venom at the concept of an alien time traveller whose body rebuilds itself at a molecular level with every regenerative cycle reborn this time around as a woman? Well this meme is for you. :D

The Nachthexen or 'Night Witches' The 588th Night Bombardment Regiment (later the 46th Taman Guards) was one of three all-female (including ground crew) combat aviation units in the Soviet Air Force during the 'Great Patriotic War' (World War II) Flying obsolete Polikarpov Po-2 biplanes, they conducted sorties on the German encampments and rear supply areas at night, doing damage and keeping the German soldiers awake due to their constant raids. Their planes flew too low, too slow, and were too maneuverable for the Luftwaffe fighters to engage them. The maximum speed of the Po-2 was well below the stall speed of Luftwaffe fighters like the Me-109 and the Fw-190, making it difficult for the German pilots to get a shot without stalling out, or overshooting them (and German pilots were automatically awarded an Iron Cross if they managed to shoot one of the 588th down.) They were so quiet and so effective that the Germans gave them the nickname of 'Nachthexen' or 'Night Witches.' These ladies had perfected stealth bombing missions by shutting off their engine and gliding to the target, making a drop of up to six 50kg bombs carried on racks under the lower wing, and starting their engine for their escape. Often the Germans did not know they werre even there until the bombs hit and that distinctive nerve-wracking sound of the Po-2's engine started it's racket. (the German soldiers nicknamed the Po-2 the 'sewing machine' because of the noise it's engine made.) And if they did hear the gliding bombers, all they would hear is a the sound of the wind through the biplane's bracing wires, likening it to the sound of broomsticks..and thus the nickname of 'Nachthexen' Every pilot in the 588th had 800 or more missions under their individual belts, and the 588th as flew over 24,000 sorties and dropped 23,000 tons of bombs by war's end. 23 of the 'Witches' were awarded Hero of the Soviet Union, and 30 of it's members lost their lives.

Collman Cousin Charged With Tattooing Convicted Killer

A man charged with placing a Katie's Revenge tattoo on the man convicted of killing Katie Collman is a cousin of the slain girl. News Alerts: Desktop | E-Mail

This happened back in '06 Apparently it was one of the lil girl's cousins who did the tattooing. He had been transferred into Stockelman's wing and got him alone and gave him the choice of being ganked or tattooed. Personally, I think I would have just skipped straight to the ganking part. The cousin who forcibly tatted this slime got time added to his sentence anyway, and i figure that, if I were in slam and someone did that to an innocent, especially my family, then why not go for broke and just shank the asshole? The extra time on my sentence would be worth it.
