When POTUS comes on board a Navy ship, Does he have to say, "Permission to come aboard sir" to the captain?No, he doesn't have to request permission to come aboard. I'd imagine that they "piped" him aboard as "Commander in Chief, arriving".
The Stained One paid the USS Eisenhower a visit while I was assigned to the Ike. Willy awarded a medal to a rather attractive blonde Radioman First Class, the only medal awarded by the Bent one that day.

I'd imagine that they "piped" him aboard as "Commander in Chief, arriving". Actually it was "United States Arriving".

He was piped aboard, and it is "United States" arriving (short for President of the United States).

According the Fox News, Bush was piped aboard as
"United States arriving." The phrase gets me choked up.
Apparently heads of state are piped aboard in that fashion.
