The Leander-class, or Type 12I frigates, comprising twenty-six vessels, was among the most numerous and long-lived classes of frigate in the Royal Navy's modern history. The class was built in three batches between 1959 and 1973. It had an unusually high public profile, due to the popular BBC television drama series Warship. The Leander silhouette became synonymous with the Royal Navy through the 1960s until the 1980s. Only two Leander Class Frigates survive today, serving in the Ecuadorian Navy as of February 2015.
The Leander design or derivatives of it were built for other navies:
On 7 March 1960, the Civil Lord of the Admiralty C. Ian Orr-Ewing stated that the "Type 12 Whitby-class anti-submarine frigates are proving particularly successful... and we have decided to exploit their good qualities in an improved and more versatile ship. This improved Type 12 will be known as the Leander class. The hull and steam turbine machinery will be substantially the same as for the Whitbys. The main new features planned are a long-range air warning radar, the Seacat anti-aircraft guided missile, improved anti-submarine detection equipment and a light-weight helicopter armed with homing torpedoes. We shall also introduce air conditioning and better living conditions." The 1963 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships described it as a "mainly anti-submarine but flexible and all purpose type".
A frigate/ˈfrɪɡᵻt/ is any of several types of warship, the term having been used for ships of various sizes and roles over the last few centuries.
In the 17th century, this term was used for any warship built for speed and maneuverability, the description often used being "frigate-built". These could be warships carrying their principal batteries of carriage-mounted guns on a single deck or on two decks (with further smaller carriage-mounted guns usually carried on the forecastle and quarterdeck of the vessel). The term was generally used for ships too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed.
In the 18th century, the term referred to ships that were usually as long as a ship of the line and were square-rigged on all three masts (full rigged), but were faster and with lighter armament, used for patrolling and escort. In the definition adopted by the British Admiralty, they were rated ships of at least 28 guns, carrying their principal armaments upon a single continuous deck — the upper deck — while ships of the line possessed two or more continuous decks bearing batteries of guns.
The album was re-released in 2007 under its original name. Note that "Tonight Is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love" is a re-work of the single from an earlier album, 1975's Stand Back. Frigate also included two cover songs: Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You", and Steve Winwood's "I'm A Man".

Ship Horns - The Steam Horn from a Leander Class Frigate, Royal Navy.
This horn is a mistery!!!
It's a jacketed steam horn (I took the Jacket off), with a 200mm diaphragm, similar to a Kockums or Leskie Tyfon. It comes from the Portsmouth area, in the UK.
It has no markings nor ID of any kind. But I have once been given a few pics of the scuttling of a New Zealand Navy frigate. On these pics, I could see a pair of horns identical to this one. They had been salvaged from the ship.
This frigate was HMNZS Wellington, F69, formerly HMS Bacchante, sold to the Kiwis by the British.
HMS Bacchante was from the Leander Class, a serie of 26 ships, said to be some of the finest vessels in the modern Royal Navy.
Many of these ships have been sold abroad, some sunk as targets, some scrapped in England or India.
I have no idea about which ship it comes from ...

The Leander-class, or Type 12I frigates, comprising twenty-six vessels, was among the most numerous and long-lived classes of frigate in the Royal Navy's modern history. The class was built in three batches between 1959 and 1973. It had an unusually high public profile, due to the popular BBC television drama series Warship. The Leander silhouette became synonymous with the Royal Navy through the 1960s until the 1980s. Only two Leander Class Frigates survive today, serving in the Ecuadorian Navy as of February 2015.
The Leander design or derivatives of it were built for other navies:
On 7 March 1960, the Civil Lord of the Admiralty C. Ian Orr-Ewing stated that the "Type 12 Whitby-class anti-submarine frigates are proving particularly successful... and we have decided to exploit their good qualities in an improved and more versatile ship. This improved Type 12 will be known as the Leander class. The hull and steam turbine machinery will be substantially the same as for the Whitbys. The main new features planned are a long-range air warning radar, the Seacat anti-aircraft guided missile, improved anti-submarine detection equipment and a light-weight helicopter armed with homing torpedoes. We shall also introduce air conditioning and better living conditions." The 1963 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships described it as a "mainly anti-submarine but flexible and all purpose type".
From the initial order for building six Leander-class frigates under a transfer of technology from the British Admiralty to the sophisticated destroyers and submarines currently on order, the yard has come a long way.
