In ST6 at the beginning of the briefing the Officer who presented the briefing
was introduced as the "CNC". What is this rank or title?

The Commander in Chief was a Fleet Admiral. (The book is wrong on this
point.)

Actually, the rank was "C in C"--Commander in Chief.

I believe it was "C and C", which would stand for "Commander
and "Chief".

No, Denny, that's not "CNC", it's C In C - Commander In Chief.

The man was probably (Though I didn't look at his pips) a
Fleet Admiral.

Close Joe. Speaking as a military brat and frequent reader of Tom
Clancy, the correct phrase is "C-in-C". A minor nit-pick, but it needs
clarification. Of course, this does stand for Commander-in-Chief.

CNC = Commander in Chief

In fact, if you look at the End Titles to the film you will find
that 'C in C' actually stands for Chief in Command, a part credited
to Leon Russom (I think thats how you spell it).

The actual title was "C-in-C" or "CINC". This stands for Commander in Chief.
The CINC's rank is minimum of an Admiral, but is probably Fleet Admiral.

It is probably an anacronym for a department in Starfleet, like NIA (Naval
Intelligence Agency). The Officer was probably part of the equivalent Intel
branch of Starfleet; how else could he have known about the situation the
Klingons were in.

I believe it was "CinC". That would probably be Commander in Chief.
