Talk:Ship commissioning

Harbor tugs and floating drydocks
I’m not sure if the sentence about harbor tugs and floating drydocks as examples of craft that aren’t commissioned because they are used locally makes sense, because they are surface boats, and commissioning generally applies just to ships and submarines. 47.139.40.129 (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Commissioning and decomissioning date
"At a minimum, on the day on which the ship is to be commissioned the crew will report for duty aboard the ship and the commanding officer will read through the orders given for the ship and its personnel." - slightly misleading. Usually crew has been assigned and working aboard ship for a while beforehand (some maybe more that a year). On the date of commissioning - formal date the Command Officer accepts full legal responsibility for the ship; as well as the assigned crew. - similar with the decommissioning. I am being presumptive here- please correct me or improve this if you known more. Wfoj3 (talk) Wfoj3 (talk) 00:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
