VRM-40 Plankowners A Plankowner is an individual who is a member of the crew of a United States Navy ship or squadron when that unit is established. These individuals are referred to as "Plankowners" because, historically, a founding crew member could petition the Naval Historical Center for a piece of the deck, or plank, when the ship was decommissioned. Sailors who are Plankowners at their current command often have the word "PLANKOWNER" embroidered on the back of their uniform ball cap to denote this highly regarded designation.
