This is one of two w/t boilers from a Blackwood Type frigate.
When it was removed,it was used to train Engineers at HMS SULTAN,the
Navy's School of Marine and Aeronautical Engineering,based at Gosport
Hampshire.
This may be from HMS EXMOUTH F84,as the steam plant was removed from
this vessel,and she was used as a test platform for Rolls Royce Olympus
and Proteus gas turbines.
