Ship's Bell

Turn your phone or tablet into the "USS Android" (or the "RMS Android" for our

British friends). This app will ring a ship's bell from 1 to 8 times during each

4-hour watch. It's still used today on most modern naval military vessels.

* It will ring correctly for both normal 4-hour Watches and 2-hour Dog Watches.

* It will display the time in either military 24-hour or civilian 12-hour time.

* It will allow you to silence the bell between the times you set for Taps and Reveille.

* It even gives you the ability to silence the bell for Sunday Holy Services.

* It can run in the background so you can use your device normally while it rings the time.

Use it to keep track of the time. (Only you will know that those 5 bells means it's 2:30.)

Use it to keep your crew efficient and on their toes.

If you're a former Bluejacket, use it as a reminder of friends and times past.

Or, just use it for fun as you walk around all day ringing like a battleship.

This may be a nice addition to your Android device. I hope you give it a try.
