Polish Navy
Hello,
I do agree. For what purpose was Poland building a Navy? Shallow water, no good base areas, relatively short shoreline. That could easier be defended by Coast Artillery.
The 1936 Polish Navy Plan was absurd:
3 Battleships
1 Aircraft Carrier
12 destroyers
21 submarines
In addition to the destroyers mentioned by Bartek - ORP Wicher (1928), ORP Burza (1929), ORP Blyskawica (1936) and ORP Grom (1936) - there were also two of 2.000 tons laid down in Gdynia for delivery in 1941.
In fact there were five submarines: ORP Rys (1929), ORP Wilk (1929), ORP Zbik (1931), ORP Orzel (1938) and ORP Sep (1938).
Of these Rys, Sep and Zbik were interned in Sweden Sept 1939.
Picture: ORP Sep arriving in Waxholm, Sweden, Sept 1939.
