Okay, obessesing with minutia; according to The Making of Star Trek (written in 1968 while the show was still in production, and co-written by Roddenberry) Stephen Whitfield writes components of the Enterprise were built in what we call today, the San Francisco Navy Yards, a division of Starfleet, and assembled in space. And as noted above, we never see or hear about this in the series or films. And obviously, many sources are slightly different in how the ship was built, from the Star Trek Encyclopedia, to the Wiki to Star Trek.com. I tend to believe the book, The Making of Star Trek.

Robert April is the first commander, then Captain Christopher Pike and Captain Kirk.

When asked, Orci says that what we see in the teaser won't be in the film.
