A "Plank Owner" is someone who was a member of the crew (or an employee) of a ship (or organization) when that ship (or organization) was officially commissioned, or in the case of TRIDENT Refit Facility, Kings Bay (TRIREEFFAC-KB), when it achieved its planned Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on September 30, 1989.
TRIREEFFAC-KB marked its 35th Anniversary in 2024. We are not sure how many original Plank Owners there were, but we do know this core group of "Pioneers" paved the way for the outstanding organization that TRIREFFAC-KB has become today!
Margaret “Buzzy” Hickox, who served as a Resource Manager in the Weapons Repair Department, recalls when she first realized the importance of the TRIREFFAC-KB mission, and how personally invested and proud she is to have been a member of the initial team.
