ORP
Wicher was built at Chantiers
Navals Francais and launched in July 1928. Two years
later she was put in service for the Polish navy. Under
the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 she came
in combat with German planes and destroyers several
times and took damage. She later sank at harbor in Hel
after being hit four times by aerial bombs. Wicher was
raised by the Germans in November 1939 and towed out to
shallow waters, and here she laid untouched through the
whole war. After the war she was used as a target ship
and finally scrapped in the 1960s. Its little left of
the proud destroyer, only parts of the hull and
mechanical parts resting on a depth of 10 to 18 meter at
the southern tip of Hel.
