Ship Horns - The Steam Horn from a Leander Class Frigate, Royal Navy.

[OcramNameez]

I actually have the two horns of the frigate Bacchante/Wellington (F69) so the horn in question is not from her. They make a great sound together running off a 100bar compressor but I am told with steam they move up a few decibels...

@OcramNameez Hey, how's it down under?

Thanks for the input. I have watched the different vids of HMNZS Wellington drowning, impressive and moving. I have been given pictures of your horns on a trailer, blowing from ashore to salute her. Great shots.

100bar??? You mean 10bar, 150psi?? At 100bar, you'd break everything inside.

Is it a scuba compressor?

On steam, they'd sound a bit higher and certainly louder, whatever the pressure.

Mine comes from HMS Scilla.

I spent 3 years on HMS Galatea , that horn sounds very familiar......Tommo, I started as a boiler front stoker, so made the steam!!

Yes,I can vouch that the horn from F69 (HMNZS Wellington ) seemed a friggin lot louder with steam passing through it...especially when your working on the bridge top ! I know it used to rattle the Boiler wharf windows when they were flashed during basin trials :)

LMAO I would love to have that trailer full of horns. Are you using compressed air? If so..you'd need a big compressor for those big bastards. Whats the deal??

[shoplift1]

If that is a leander class frigate horn, could it be from the last ever leander HMS Scylla that was at portsmouth until a few years ago when it got towed to plymouth and sunk as a diving wreck/reef? the last one before that was HMS Sirius but that went years ago in the mid 90's. there are a few leanders still serving in other navies HMS Diomede is now called INAS Shamsher. Id bet your horn is off the scylla, thats where id start looking, it was in portsmouth harbour rotting away for years

Try to google "Star Brass steam siren" and see if you can find your sound.
