   Ship's bells are a system to indicate the hour by means of bells. This system is widely used aboard ships to regulate the sailor's duty-watches. Unlike civil clock bells, the strikes of the bell do not accord to the number of the hour. Instead, there are eight bells, one for each half-hour of a four-hour watch.

   Number Of Bells	Middle Watch	Morning Watch	Forenoon Watch
   One bell	0:30	4:30	8:30
   Two bells	1:00	5:00	9:00
   Three bells	1:30	5:30	9:30
   Four bells	2:00	6:00	10:00
