Museum-ship Blyskawica destroyer in Gdynia, Poland

ORP Błyskawica (Eclair) était un destroyer de la classe Grom qui servit dans la marine polonaise durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le plus ancien destroyer du monde conservé en l'état est maintenant un musée maritime à Gdynia en Pologne. En fait, la classe Grom (Tonnerre) ne comprenait que ces deux destroyers lourdement armés et rapides, construits par J. Samuel White à Cowes (GB). (source Wikipedia)
ORP Błyskawica was a Grom-class destroyer serving in the Polish Navy during World War II, currently preserved as a museum ship in Gdynia. It is the only ship of the Polish Navy awarded with the Virtuti Militari medal, as well as the oldest preserved destroyer in the world. She was the latter of two Grom (Thunder)-class destroyers, built for the Polish Navy by J. Samuel White, Cowes. The name means Lightning. The two Groms were some of the most heavily-armed and fastest destroyers on the seas before World War II. (source Wikipedia)
