Become an Association Plank Owner!
A Plank Owner is a member of the original commissioning crew of a ship or a newly commissioned unit. The term comes from the tradition of commissioning crew members taking a plank from the ship's deck as a keepsake.
In honor of this long standing Navy tradition, we recognize our earliest supporters who donate at least $827 as Plank Owner of the USS Wisconsin SSBN 827 Association. Those who continue to donate $82.70 per year are our Sustaining Plank Owners. The Plank Owner donation level will be available only until the ship’s Christening Date. After that no other donors will receive the designation. However, we will always recognize the generous support of our earliest donors on our Supporters page with a “P” for Plank Owner or “P*” for Sustaining Plank Owner after their names.
