The "Blyskawica" Museum-ship
The "Blyskawica" Museum-ship is a real zero-class monument - it is the oldest preserved destroyer - a World War II veteran and the only Allied combat ship that actively participated in operations throughout the war - from September 1, 1939 to May 8, 1945.
The "Błyskawica" museum ship still carries the white and red war flag. It remains in the composition of the 3rd Fleet of Ships of the Polish Navy and has a full-time sailor crew. It documents the traditions of Polish seamen's fights, is a place of representative meetings and state ceremonies, including ceremonial promotions of Navy officers, a mainstay of the eternal maritime ceremony, and at the same time a well-maintained monument of world-class naval technology.
A visit to Błyskawica allows you to get acquainted with the ship's deck equipment from the stern to the bow - take a look at the ship's artillery, depth charge throwers and launchers, and torpedoes. After going below deck, you can look into the sailor's rooms, boiler room and engine room, and even go through the ship's boiler.
