Default For Whom the Bell Tolls

As I'm sure many of you are aware of naval tradition, I felt like today would be a good day to bring this up.
Usually when a ship is lost a ceremony is held where a bell is rung once for each man on the missing/lost vessel.
I do believe on this site we have reason to remember this tradtion, and as such here is a link to a story on the real tradition remember a few days ago: http://m.kitsapsun.com/news/2012/may...d-war-ii-subs/
