why are propellers made of bronze?
its still called a plaque rite?where can I sell furnishins from an old stable?
It is called the Plaque, not suprisingly.I call mine either the emblem, sheild, logo, or just that wood & enameled gizmo near the entrance.
But it is not Royal Navy, just a narrowboat.
It has on navy ships been called - "The thing, when arriving back on board a bit wobbly, in port, is the best indicator that you are aboard the correct vessel"
There you go,

Commissioning Plaque
Tarter
its called the ships chest
When any ship is being built , it is not 'named' until it's launch , a simple 'yard number' suffices. On the day of launch , the ship is 'sponsored' by a dignitory , such as a Royal Family member or the wife of a very senior naval officer.. As soon as the Lady says "I name this ship 'Blah , Blah , Blah' , it's now 'named'. The plaque is called the 'Ship's Crest'. Some ships in RN history have had their names changed on launch , but built as an 'intended' different name.[e,g The Frigate 'HMS Dido' [F104] was originally to have been the 'HMS Hastings' : Hastings never materialized.
