A plankowner stands apart from every Sailor who followed. To be among the original crew when USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) was commissioned on October 18, 1977, at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, was to be present at the birth of one of America's most powerful instruments of national defense. Named for the Supreme Allied Commander who led Allied forces to victory in World War II and later served as 34th President of the United States, Ike was built to project power and preserve peace during the most dangerous era of the Cold War. The plankowners set the standard every crew since has worked to uphold.
