Description

The destroyer ORP Burza was built at the French shipyard Chantiers Naval Francais in Blainville in the years 1927-1932. Drive: two 35,000hp steam turbines driving two propellers. Speed: 33.8 knots. Armament: four 130 mm AA guns, two 40 mm AA guns, four 13.2 mm heavy AA machine guns, six torpedo tubes, two depth charge launchers. In addition, modern radar equipment and sonar. A crew of 152 officers and sailors. The ship served in the composition of the destroyer squadron, the crew was trained, the ship also participated in foreign courtesy visits to Baltic ports (including Estonia, Germany, the USSR, Sweden, Denmark), representing the Polish Navy. Shortly before the outbreak of the war, in the last days of August 1939, three destroyers: Błyskawica, Grom, Burza, on the orders of the command, sailed to Great Britain. The ships were modernized to increase their combat efficiency. The ship carried out missions in the Atlantic, took part in the Norwegian campaign, took part in the evacuation of the British army from Dunkirk (it was attacked by Luftwaffe bombers, but after being hit by bombs, thanks to the control of the crew, it returned to Dover partially efficient). After being repaired in action in the North Sea, the Storm attacked the U-boat and probably sank it. Subsequently, the Storm had several collisions with other British ships - there was even an idea to use the Storm as a battering ram to destroy the Normandie dock in a commando action in Saint Nazaire, but ultimately the destroyer HMS Capbeltown was the battering ram. The ship actively protected many convoys until 1944. This year, Burza was transferred to the reserve, where it acted as a training ship for Polish sailors. Seized by the Royal Navy until 1950, it was moored at Harwich. After being taken over by the Navy, the ship was sent to the Gdynia Shipyard for renovation. Some parts from the Wichra wreck were used. The ship served in the Navy until 1960, after which it was a museum until 1976, when it was scrapped and replaced by ORP Błyskawica. Some elements of ORP Burza are currently in the Polish Arms Museum in Kołobrzeg and the Navy Museum in Gdynia.
