	It was my understanding that ST-TMP took place 1-2 years after the
Enterprise's five year mission, of which we saw three. Kirk was promoted to
Admiral for being one of the few Captains to bring his ship safely back.
After the V'Ger story, Kirk became a Captain again and the Enterprise went
off on another five year mission.
	ST-TWOK, however takes place 15-16 years after Kirk first took
command of the Enterprise.
	I got this impression from various articles and the novalizations
of both movies.
