About
ORP Błyskawica is a 114-meter Polish Navy destroyer launched in 1936 at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and the oldest surviving destroyer in the world. She fought through all of World War II, from the Dunkirk evacuation to the Normandy landings.
Now a museum ship moored in Gdynia, she still flies the naval ensign and keeps her own crew, and hosts official Navy ceremonies.
