The Kahlenberg TRITON Piston Horn is a unique sound producing unit because it requires no compressed air and no diaphragms yet utilizes air vibrations in a tuned sound column. The unit consists of an electric motor driving a pis- ton with a cylinder similar in appearance to an air compres- sor. Very economical to operate and install. Write for bulle- tin. 92C.

New Navy Homeport

Dedicated In N.Y.

The new U.S. Navy homeport lo- cated in Staten Island, N.Y., was recently dedicated in ceremonies.

Among the principals attending the ceremony were Vice Adm. Jo- seph Stover Donnell III, Com- mander of the Naval Surface Force,

Atlantic Fleet, and Vice Adm. Leon

A. Edney, Chief of Naval Opera- tions.

The homeport, located in the Sta- pleton section of Staten Island, will be home to a battle group of about half a dozen ships led by the battle- ship USS Iowa (BB-61).

The first ships to dock at the homeport were the Aegis cruiser

USS Ticonderoga (CG-47) and the destroyer USS Hayler (DD-997).

The ships were in the harbor as part of the festivities for the Navy's Fleet

Week.

Far East Levingston Gets $100-Million Rig Order

The second oil drilling rig order from Santa Fe International Corp. has been received by Far East Le- vingston Shipbuilding Ltd.(FELS), a unit of Singapore's Keppel

Group.

The $100-Million order is for a

Universe-class jackup rig to be com- pleted in 1991. It will be built to designs by Friede & Goldman of

New Orleans and is destined for

North Sea Drilling.

A $120-million order for a canti- lever rig with helipad is nearing completion for Santa Fe by FELS.

Described as more sophisticated than the previous platform, the new platform, dubbed the Galaxy, is ca- pable of working deeper waters. The

North Sea is one of the world's most difficult oil-drilling areas.
