Talk:Operations officer

Operations Manager
Shouldn't this page be titled Operations Officer?
 * Well the position isn't necessarily filled by an officer, you know.


 * When it is not its called "operations chief" -- and both alternate names are in fact noted in the first line fo the article, in case you didn't notice.


 * I'm not sure if either term has been used in canon, but this is derived from the ST:TNG Technical Manual, and was adopted as it was the closest thing to a canon name the position has. Technically, it has most often been called "ops" or "chief of operations" onscreen. -- Captain M.K.B. 20:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It wasn't used in dialog. --Alan del Beccio 20:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * To reiterate, the term "chief of operations" was mentioned 17 times (in one ref it was described as a "rank"), "operations chief" = 1 time, and "operations officer" had two meanings, one being "operations division" (in ) and the other being this definition, and also described O'Brien (in ), as well as Data and Kim. Either way, the term "operations manager" wasn't used in dialog. --Alan 01:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, the term 'Operations Officer' could apply to both enlisted and commissioned officers holding the position. In this respect, the word 'officer' means someone who carries out a duty. -- TrekFan 02:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
