I was wondering... does one have to be a Captain to be the Captain of a Miranda Class Ship?

I figured that captain is more of a title and not a rank in star fleet . The officer who is in command of ship has the title of captain /
I believe you are correct toadmage but this also applies to a wet navy as well ..usually the minimum command rank(usually in the USN) is LT. Commander
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

Or if the are on a non-military vessel they would be called the ship's MASTER.
Captain is a title, and two ranks in the military. One is the rank of CPT, which is an O-3, and is usually in command of a company (I) or a staff officer in a battalion (II) or a larger sized unit. There is the rank of Capt., which is an O-6, which is equivalent to a Colonel; they command major ships, or are staff in a naval Task Force or larger size command. Then there is the title Captain, which has the non-official term Skipper, much as the rank of First Sergeant also has the non-official term 'Top' associated with it.
