Mark, one of my duty stations in the Navy was as an asst. disposal officer at the inactive ship facility in Philadelphia in the early '70s. When we sold a ship for scrap, we always had to save the ship's bell, engine-order telegraph (EOT), and binnacle. These were shipped to the Naval Museum in Washington, DC for storage. If there was another ship ever commissioned with the same name, these items would go to that ship. Otherwise, they just became a part of history that was saved.
