Grom-class (Thunder class) destroyer proud of Polish Navy "ORP Błyskawica" (ORP Lightning)

Grom class destroyers where designed to be able to sail with max speed of 39,6 knots
ORP Błyskawica is the oldest preserved destroyer in the world

Pictures made in 2012(not by me) present original 1944 look

- Good looking
- Versatile
- Numerous
- Spacious

Eh?

a) What the hell is the Down In Flames Forum?
b) If you mean the Australian Beauties thread in the General Discussion Forum - then er...... I've re-written what I'm going to say here about four times. I will refrain from venting my true feelings because I can't be arsed
