| Remarks |
Ship´s bells are used to mark the passage of time, dividing the day into four-hour "watches," or periods of duty. Each strike of the bell signifies the end of a half-hour, and the bell is sounded in pairs for easier counting. The maximum number of bells is eight, which indicates the end of one watch and the start of the next.
The Intrepid´s original bronze bell, displayed here, was replaced by another bell that is displayed at the aft end of Hangar 2.
Bell on loan from the U.S. Navy. |
