The official party of the Joint Base Charleston inaugural ceremony is joined by two of JB CHS's most junior service members during the unveiling of a retired Navy ship's bell that was presented in honor of the full operational capability of JB CHS Oct. 1, 2010. From the Navy?s earliest days, bells have been used for signaling, keeping time and sounding alarms. Their functional and traditional ceremonial uses have made them a symbol of considerable significance to the United States Navy. The bell presented originally served aboard the USS Moosbrugger, a Spruance Class destroyer homeported in Charleston between 1978 and 1995. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Lauren Main)
