Could we, instead of scrapping or repairing the ships, for instance, turn them into museum? maybe not these, since we would need to repair them enough to look the part, but in the future, specially when we start thinking about decommissioning ships...

In the vote to only attack Iron Hail, I was half-way counting on TF2 intercepting any Licori reinforcements and at the very least slowing them down... but this surpasses my expectations by a boatload.
There's no way history is going to forget Enterprise Picard!

We could always drag one of the Licori frigates home for the Starfleet Museum.
That's not what has happened with other damaged member world ships. The damaged Rigellian ships were repairs using Rigellian resources. We only paid the extra cost to rush repairs.
United Earth and Tellar Prime were some of the loudest voices calling for war. If they have to pay to repair their damaged ships, well, that's to be expected.
Maybe Starfleet Medical will do that when they replace their old Ranger-derived ships.
It looks like Enterprise got them in their main deflector, which caused blowback severe enough to knock their ship out completely.
I did suggest building a giant sintering oven, gently pushing the Enterprise-A inside after stripping her down to the bare metal, and doing a museum preservation job. More recent ships however, shouldn't be preserved willy-nilly, though I am in favor of mothballing old ships when they are not entirely worn out as the Soyuz were.
I think much like a nuclear aircraft carrier, preserving a starship as a museum ship is more difficult than it sounds.

Too junior. Someone like Ainsworth would be a good candidate for next vice admiral of Tactical... but we might see Nash as a candidate for the position some time around 2320-25.

Not enough time in grade, she is a Commodore and Tactical is a Vice Admiral slot going to Admiral at some point. But what she did do is shave time off before she can hit Rear Admiral, if not be eligible this year for promotion.
We do have this vacant Rear Admiral position in the Gabriel
EDIT: Worth it just for the Cardassian reaction.
"The Federation replaced their commander in the disputed zone."
"Oh? Well, see what Intelligence can dig up on the new commander."
"There's... no need, sir. Our file is already quite extensive. Sir... it's ka'Sharren."

Well I was looking at TF 2 and TF 1 and with repairs and losses we may have needed to combine them to get back to full strength, in which case we can send Nash over to the GBZ. I approve of this notion in large part because she has in a sense earned it through her actions here. Thuir takes over a combined TF 1 and 2 in say Q3 or end of Q2, if we are in mop up mode.

@Briefvoice and others:
As I remember it, we've actually been talking about Nash for a post in the Gabriel Expanse pretty much since the beginning. When we didn't know that "CO, Gabriel Border Zone" was going to be a rear admiral's billet, and expected it to be a commodore-level posting like all the other sector commands, we were talking about giving that job to Nash. @Leila Hann even did a cartoon depicting it- the "toll booth in space" one.
If it hadn't been for the Lironh bombing, with the Amarki going all Lou Ferrigno on the Syndicate and demanding Nash and Leaniss as commodore and flag captain of their contribution to the anti-Syndicate Task Force...
Well, suffice to say that in the parallel universe where the Syndicate failed their "plant a nuke" check, it seems very likely that Nash would have gotten Jessica Rivers' spot as the commander of the main Starfleet task force in the Expanse, putting her in command at Deva IX and in a subordinate squadron command at Lora III.

The LBZ commander assignments also said that Nash was already eligible for promotion to Rear Admiral at the time.
The key word being the nuclear carrier. Decommissioning the reactor of a CVN is difficult enough that it essentially invalidated its potential as a museum ship. Imagine the difficulties decommissioning a warp core and related assembly.

We got the Courageous, Voshov, and the two mars probes plus the damaged ships that were previously assigned to the Gabriel Border Zone finishing in Q2 and Q3. Give us a quick force rotation and they'll be up to full strength.

The big problem is that we'll have a whole mess of explorers but be very light on screening elements- just at the moment in time where Oneiros is re-weighting the combat engine to make screening elements more effective in helping us get fleets through minefields.
We may need to mobilize some more frigates and cruisers from member world fleets, or roll the Gaeni force into our existing task forces to help us with minesweeping and sensor picket duty.

I don't know if we need them up to full strength though, we just took out 5 of their 7 heavies and 1/4 to 1/3 of their escorts. Now the Ked Peddah got their fleet hurt fairly bad but we still have the Gaeni to supplement our numbers and we are rushing repairs on the Mega-Tortoise. Ships that were at the GBZ should head back there as we have a peer power that we are shooting at there. Courageous can help out but that may be more than enough heavies when combined with the Enterprise and Excelsior.
Also Thuir has been Commodore for as long as ka'Sharren has. He's probably due a promotion after the war at the very latest.

If there is a slot for him, I think that is sometimes what holds back promotions into the Admiral ranks is not having somewhere to put them. Though with Ops moving to a Full Admiral that added more Admiral slots. If we do another re-org this year to another department that will open up more.

We have a LOT of postings for rear admirals. We directly appoint them pretty often, and there are many rear admiral postings in the staff of various Starfleet departments that we don't have direct control over. Finding appropriately ranked jobs for Thuir and ka'Sharren in the next year or two isn't going to be a problem.
