ROV recovers bell from USS Jacob Jones

The UK government has returned the ship’s bell from the USS Jacob Jones, the first American destroyer lost to enemy attack during World War I, sunk in by German U-boat in December 1917.

Following our recovery of an iconic symbol of one of the most notable 🇺🇸 Navy shipwrecks, we've presented the bell of USS Jacob Jones to the US in a ceremony at Lancaster House, London. The bell is intended for display in the future new National Museum of the US Navy. @USNHistory pic.twitter.com/mArItxpLpd
