List of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Minor Characters - Q - Queeg

Queeg, portrayed by Chad L. Coleman, is a re-programmed T-888 who commands USS Jimmy Carter under John Connor's Resistance. His officers and crew are all human, including his executive officer, Jesse Flores.

In "Today Is The Day" (Part I), he applies a deceptive tactic against a Skynet Kraken (supposedly a very powerful underwater warship) first by locking his torpedo on that of the Kraken and subsequently driving the Jimmy Carter merely 27 centimeters above crush depth, therefore leading the Kraken to assume that it destroyed the Carter judging by the impact of the colliding torpedoes and by its failure to track their movement at such a depth. In "The Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter", he quells a riot against his and Flores' authority by summarilly executing Lieutenant Dietz for mutiny. He is thereafter confronted by Flores who orders him to surrender his chip under suspicion of compromise of programming. After refusing to comply, and explaining that his unusual actions are in accordance with their secret mission orders, he is terminated by Flores.

In keeping with the series' extensive literary allusions, his name is presumably a reference to Lieutenant Commander Philip Francis Queeg, captain of USS Caine in Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny.
