Striking down WRT aircraft means to stow aboard ship, in particular to stow in the hanger. It includes the act of physically moving the aircraft to the stowage place and lashing it to the deck using the tie down points. - Nick Thorne talk 05:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Another technical term which needs explanation is "girdling". I searched Google and Dictionary.com (even Wikipedia!) but only came up with references to horticulture. I assume that girdling in the naval sense means a ring of extra metal added to the ship's hull, to lower the center of gravity. It would be nice if an expert could clarify this.
