Orkan
M-class destroyer HMS Myrmidon was laid down at the Fairfield shipyard in Scotland in December 1939, launched in March 1942, and commissioned on November 18, 1942. On the day of her commissioning, the ship was solemnly handed over to a Polish crew, and the destroyer received the name of "ORP Orkan." The ship served in the Arctic, participating in the escort of northern convoys. On October 8, 1943, while escorting convoy SC-143, Orkan was hit by a torpedo from German submarine U-378 and sank within minutes.
