Star Trek: Picard - Season 3

Regarding the fleet size on Frontier Day, have a look at this:

No Cali Class?

The CALIFORNIA class would be really long in the tooth by 2401 (or later - Season 3 has some temporal continuity issues), especially given their 2360s era technology and second rate status.

While TOS designs hung on very long during the Lost Era, Star Fleet looks to have moved 2370s and 2380s first-line ships (like the SOVEREIGNS, LUNAs and AKIRAs) into second line roles, along with new replacements. An ECHELON or a DUDERSTADT, or even a RELIANT, is a CALIFORNIA replacement in the 2400s.

Lower Decks is set in 2380, soit would make sensethat Ceritos was already twenty yars old then. That means Mariner and Boimler could be Admirals by 2401! Or a really old Ensign and an Admiral. JanewayFreeman was a bit younger than Riker, so she could still be around too!

I can’t imagine either as admirals! Maybe they’d have been promoted through length of service to lieutenant, but further? Star Fleet has survived a great deal, but could it survive either Mariner, or Boimler as flag officers?

Depends on what they learned as their careers progressed. Especially since they’re remedying each other’s faults as they serve together.

Perhaps npt Becket, she's kind of a loose cannon, but Bradward has talent and discipline. He's still just an OF-1 not long out of the Academy and has a lot of room for and ability to improve.

Boimler could probably serve well as a Commander on an admiral’s staff. Star Fleet just needs to find a way to harness Mariner’s talents.
