I dont want to ask him 'what do you mean' just incase he thinks what an idiot figure i will get a more mature response here
Kiwi,
Yes he's talking a plaque from a tender ship, not a submarine. Tenders are used as supply and repair for subs and can be sailed and ported in any harbor.
Heavy bronze plaque could be that that ships logo is made of bronze and attached to a wood surface.....The Logo was probably from a mold of sand in which molten bronze was poured.......
