Who gets the honors on putting the pennant up there every day?

I believe that would be the tippy main topman.

Curiosity SLIDE:

How are sails, flags, and pennants cared for on a ship? Do they ever get washed? Are they treated with anything? Who is responsible for inspecting them and caring for them?

When someone is buried at sea, are they wrapped in a sail? Is anything unique done to the canvas wrapping the body? Who stores the canvas for such an eventuality?

If you can tell: Was Bin Laden wrapped in the same manner as our brave sailors or did they do/use something differently? (I’m hoping he was wrapped in pigskin.)
