[edit] Expression

The term plank-owner is a common expression in the US Navy. While the article may need expansion, I do not see why it needs the verify flag Oldfarm 04:35, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the verify tag, as it is easy to verify. It needs editing though, as it's word for word from the link I posted. It's a US Government source though, so it's not a copyvio. Kevin 08:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plank Owner Honors

Besides the Plank Owner's entitlement to a piece of the ship upon decommissioning, are their any honors given when visiting a ship still in commission? Specifically, will the Quarterdeck of the ship announce the arrival of a visiting Plank Owner? I had heard this once a long time ago but am now unable to verify the information.

[edit] why is this a "Montana stub"?

I'll be removing the stub tag. Mang (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
