These barrels replicate the main armament of the destroyers ORP Grom and ORP Błyskawica (before being rearmed in 1941), as well as the minelayer ORP Gryf. These ships were the pride of the Polish Navy in the period before and during World War II. ORP Błyskawica in particular became famous for her wartime service in the North Sea and the English Channel.
