(ENT: "The Seventh") Later that year, Paul Mayweather, temporary captain of the ECS Horizon, joked with his brother Travis Mayweather, citing that "An ensign ought to salute before addressing a captain." Ensign Mayweather laughed it off, reminding him that he was only that "acting captain" and not to "let it go to your head." (ENT: "Horizon") In 2154, when Captain Archer became obsessed with protecting a Xindi-Insectoid hatchery due to a chemical from the hatchery's eggs, Trip led a mutiny in order to bring Captain Archer back to Enterprise so that they would be able to continue their mission to stop the Xindi from destroying Earth. During the time that Archer was recovering, T'Pol was the acting captain of the Enterprise.

Captain Benjamin Sisko was the commander of Deep Space 9, which during the war was the headquarters for the Federation Alliance, and would often demand his close attention. As such he would entrust to his most senior Starfleet officers command of the ship and its crew. (DS9: "Rejoined", "Paradise Lost", "Call to Arms", "Behind the Lines") Aboard the Silver Blood USS Voyager, its copy of Ensign Harry Kim assumed command of the starship as the highest ranking surviving officer, after his own senior officers had dissolved. (VOY: "Course: Oblivion") In 2258, in the same reality, Captain Pike of the USS Enterprise appointed Commander Spock acting captain and George Kirk's son, Lieutenant Kirk as first officer when Pike left the ship to confront Nero. Subsequently, Kirk proved that Spock was unable to perform his duties and then Kirk himself was made acting captain. After everything was over, Kirk was promoted to the rank of captain and given regular command of the ship. (Star Trek) Later, in 2259, Kirk placed Hikaru Sulu in charge when he and other members of his crew flew a K'normian trading ship to Qo'noS to apprehend John Harrison, a move which Leonard McCoy questioned, saying, "You just sat that man down at a high-stakes poker game with no cards and told him to bluff." Kirk rebuffed his concerns. When Kirk was aboard the USS Vengeance, and the Enterprise was falling towards Earth, Spock, in the role of acting captain, ordered the entire crew to evacuate the ship while he remained behind to ensure their safety until they did. Sulu and the rest of the bridge crew declined, strapping themselves in. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
