Great article! I was curious about this sentence:

As the ship entered New York Harbor last week, the topside chatter stopped twice: When she passed the Statue of Liberty and, again, when she rendered honors to Ground Zero, they stood proudly to parade-rest.

Can anyone tell me what it means when a ship "renders honors"?
