<Ahem...>

  Most Trek fans know that the progression of command of the
Enterprise goes from Kirk to Spock to Scotty to Sulu.
But who comes after that?  I remember only one episode when
all four were off the ship at once, and that was "Catspaw".
In that episode, another guy takes over.  He had dark
hair, and wore a red engineering-division shirt.  The one
line of his that I distinctly remember is (when the Enterprise
has been encased by the witch's force field) something
like: "We may not be able to break it, but I'll bet
<something> to Navy beans we can put a dent in it!"
Does anyone recall this person's rank and name?  What the
rationale for having him in command was (over, say, Uhura)?
Does he appears in any other episodes?  I know there
was an animated episode in which Uhura took command.
   Also, does anyone know what the <something> in the
above quote is supposed to be?  I guess the memory
isn't as distinct as I thought.
