Ze697. The bell next to the former Ford Island Naval Air Station Flagpole and Plaque is the Ships Bell of the USS Monterey BM-6. I wonder how it got here?

Note from Karl: On the 2nd Nov. 2019 I walked around Ford Island and saw this former Ford Island Naval Air Station Flagpole, anchor and the USS Monterey Bell and started to research. I found several things and decided to build this webpage.

Ze696. Almost forgotten! Ford Island was a Naval Air Station from 17th Jan. 1923 to 31st of March 1962. This plaque is on Ford Island at the foot of an unused flagpole and a ships bell is next to it. This must be the Quarterdeck area of the former Ford Island Naval Air Station Head Quarters.
