PlankownerPrimarily in the United States Navy, a plankowner is a member of the crew of a ship when it's first commissioned. Historically, a plankowner or his widow could petition the Naval Historical Center's Curator Branch when the ship was decommissioned, and receive a piece of the deck; this does not apply to modern ships with metal decks, however.
