Brief historical description:

ORP Kościuszko is one of two Polish O.H. Perry-class guided-missile frigates, based on American design. The ship entered service in the US Navy as USS Wadsworth in 1980 (during the Cold War), and was later transferred to Poland in 2002. The frigate is a key element of the Polish Navy, participating in numerous NATO exercises and allied operations. Equipped with modern anti-aircraft, missile, and sonar systems, it has often been used in maritime security missions, convoy escort, as well as exercises in the Baltic and North Seas.

The publication is particularly recommended for intermediate and advanced individuals (difficulty level 3/5) who expect precise technical drawings and high-quality reference material for building and detailing their own ORP Kościuszko models and sister ships.
