Offered is an engine room light, which was salvaged from the Australian submarine HMAS Orion upon decommissioning. Light and fittings, being mounted onto wood base, with brass plaque. Entire piece measures 32cm x 21cm x15cm, about 8kg in weight. Nice piece.

HMAS Orion was an Oberon class submarine of the Royal Australian Navy. One of six submarines ordered by the RAN during the 1960s, Orion, named after the constellation in a break from ship-naming tradition, was built in Scotland and commissioned in 1977. Orion was one of two Oberon-class submarines designed for intelligence gathering and conducted regular patrols in Soviet, Indian and Chinese waters to gather information regarding enemy capabilities.
