A Plankowner is a ship’s crew member who is assigned to a U. S. Navy ship on the day of the ship's commissioning.
The naval term “plankowner” finds its origin back in the days of sailing ships when sailors slept on deck. Because some planks of the deck were softer than others, the crew would select those to sleep upon, and in time would regard them as their own. In many cases, when the ship was dismantled, crew members would, in fact, lay claim to these planks as mementos of their seagoing days. (http://www.navyleague.org)
