A prim and proper correction.

"Z" the hatch. Must mean something. Hope the sailors on this warship understood what the "Z" meant.

For any non-sailors: It means this hatch must be dogged when the ship is under Material Condition Zulu

Material Condition Zulu is one of three different Material Conditions aboard a ship.
X-Ray is the most lax with most hatches open. Usually set in port.
Yankee is the middle one. Some hatches are dogged and others are opened. This is usually set at sea.
Zulu is the most serious one. All hatches are dogged. It is used in combat and during storms.

HA! I knew there would be an ex-naval man, or at least someone familiar with naval practice who could tell me what those letters on hatches meant.
