  • The Heroic Destroyer and "Lucky" Ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica"
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 65, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The heroic destroyer and "lucky" ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica" A. Komorowski & A. Wojcik Naval University of Gdynia, Poland Abstract The destroyer O.R.P. "Blyskawica" is a precious national relic, the only remaining ship that was built before World War I1 (WW2). On the 5oth Anniversary of its service under the Polish flag, it was honoured with the highest military decoration - the Gold Cross of the Virtuti Militari Medal. It has been the only such case in the whole history of the Polish Navy. Its our national hero, war-veteran and very "lucky" warship. "Blyskawica" took part in almost every important operation in Europe throughout WW2. It sailed and covered the Baltic Sea, North Sea, all the area around Great Britain, the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. During the war "Blyskawica" covered a distance of 148 thousand miles, guarded 83 convoys, carried out 108 operational patrols, participated in sinking two warships, damaged three submarines and certainly shot down four war-planes and quite probably three more. It was seriously damaged three times as a result of operational action. The crew casualties aggregated to a total of only 5 killed and 48 wounded petty officers and seamen, so it was a very "lucky" ship during WW2. In July 1947 the ship came back to Gdynia in Poland and started training activities. Having undergone rearmament and had a general overhaul, it became an anti-aircraft defence ship. In 1976 it replaced O.R.P. "Burza" as a Museum-Ship.

  • Unmanned Surface
    lcdr Rafał MIĘTKIEWICZ PhD Polish Naval Academy POSSIBLE APPLICATTIONS OF USVs IN POLISH NAVY Key words: unmanned surface vehicles, Polish Navy modernization, maritime security applications, maritime critical infrastructure protection, maritime security, unmanned platforms, unmanned maritime vehicles, Abstract: Polish Navy modernization process is underway. Year 2015 was vital because of two historical events. Newly build corvette (Gawron Class) and minehunter (Kormoran II Class) were launched in Polish shipyards. Naval modernization program consist of many aspects and is implemented in Polish industry. Simultaneously, couple of programs focused on unmanned vehicles are on track (aerial, surface and underwater). One of them is Buried Mines (BURMIN) program as a part of European Unmanned Systems for Mine Counter Measures and other naval applications (UMS) organized by European Defense Agency (EDA), together with sufficient players of the branch like Thales (leader), Atlas, RMA, TNO. WTD-71, Atlas Elektronik, Fraunhofer, IPHT, CTM (Poland). Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) become increasingly popular in military and maritime security applications. With growing role of shallow and confined waters in maritime tactics some specific threats start play significant role (asymmetric threats, sea mine, submarines). Polish Navy is engaged in Multinational Capability Development Campaign (MCDC) project dedicated to Joint and Combined Operations in and from Confined Waters. Ideas proposed in the paper represent the author’s personal point of view. Introduction Project of minehunter construction Kormoran II assumes the purchase of three units build in Gdansk. With a magnetic steel hull construction the new MCM vessel will be equipped with, wide variety of high specialized outfit contain inter alia, AUV - Hugin 1000, Self-Propelled Variable Depth Sonar (SPVDS) - Double Eagle Mk III, ROV - Morswin, one shot disposal system – Głuptak, Side Scan Sonar – Klein together with Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV).

  • 'Poland's Navy, 1918-1945'
    H-War Jones on Peszke, 'Poland's Navy, 1918-1945' Review published on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 Michael A. Peszke. Poland's Navy, 1918-1945. New York: Hippocrene Books, 1999. ix + 215 pp. $29.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-7818-0672-5. Reviewed by Mark H. Jones (Department of History & Social Science, St. Luke's School, New Canaan, Connecticut) Published on H-War (November, 2000) A common technique in writing a book review is to compare the item under consideration with similar titles. In this case, no comparison is possible because Poland's Navy 1918-1945 is the first English- language study on the topic. Michael Peszke, whose father served in Poland's tiny naval aviation service between the wars, has written widely on all aspects of the Polish military between 1918 and 1945 (e.g. Peszke 1981, 1994, 1995). While the Polish Navy (PN) was an active and capable participant in World War II, it has been overshadowed in the literature by its much larger sister services. Book-length accounts in English treat the Polish Army (Anders 1981, Sosabowski 1982) and Polish Air Force (Polish Air Force Association 1949, Cynk 1998). Prior to the publication ofPoland's Navy, 1918-1945, the available literature in English on the Polish Navy during World War II was limited to a handful of short articles in specialist naval history and naval architecture magazines and journals. Historians could also find brief accounts of Polish naval operations in the official British study of the Royal Navy during World War II (Roskill 1954-60). Poland's Navy, 1918-1945 fills a gap in the literature of the greatest war in history.

For me it is a huge honour and a great pleasure to welcome such a distinguished group of guests in the State Parliament of Schleswig-Holstein to commemorate this very important milestone for our think-tank here in Kiel. Looking back, for what reason was the COE CSW incorporated here in Germany and why particularly in Kiel? Well, for decades the German Navy and especially the Flotilla 1 in Kiel has accumulated a high and specifi c maritime warfare competence by operating in coastal waters, especially in the Baltic and the North Sea. With the aim to make these tactical and operational skills available to NATO allies, and to ensure state-of-the-art operational concepts, the COE CSW was established in 2006 with the formal inauguration in 2007. In October 2008, Greece, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Germany signed a “Memorandum of Understanding”, which defi ned the function, organisation, staffi ng and funding.

  • Znalazło Szerokie Zastosowanie Na Okrętach Wojennych, Z Jednym Wyjątkiem: Bulwiastym Dzio- Bem
    SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF POLISH NAVAL ACADEMY ZESZYTY NAUKOWE AKADEMII MARYNARKI WOJENNEJ 2018 (LIX) 3 (214) DOI: 10.2478/sjpna-2018-0016 AN UNDERWATER SPOILER ON A WARSHIP: WHY, WHEN AND HOW? Bruno Bouckaert Hull Vane B.V., Nude 46, 6702 DM, Wageningen, The Netherlands; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT There are a lot of energy saving devices for ships on the market, but few have seen wide adop- tion on naval ships, with one exception: the bulbous bow. The bulbous bow was developed for naval ships in the early 20th century and is now widespread on a variety of ship designs. Many have wondered if the effect of the bulbous bow — reducing the resistance of a ship by reducing the bow wave — could be replicated somehow at the stern — by reducing the stern wave. This is exactly what is done by a novel and patented energy saving device called Hull Vane ®. Invented by Dutch hydrodynamicist Dr Peter van Oossanen for an America’s Cup sailing yacht in the early 21st century, research over the years has shown that this wing-shaped appendage works best on ships that combine a relatively high displacement with a relatively high top speed requirement — even if most sailing hours are done at half speed. Examples are certain offshore vessels, superyachts, patrol vessels and naval ships. On offshore patrol vessels, the re- sistance reduction from the Hull Vane® ranges typically from 10 to 20% over the entire useful speed range. In this paper, the working principles of the Hull Vane® will be described to give a better under- standing of the device.

  • Conference Program
    U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference Leader Development: The Cycle of Success January 30-February 2, 2011 Annapolis, Maryland 2 Welcome The United States Naval Academy, the Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law, along with the Hart Foundation and the USNA Class of ’38, are proud to sponsor the 2011 Leadership Conference at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland January 30-February 2, 2011. Mission Statement The U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference's mission is to bring together the best minds in the practice and study of leadership to exchange ideas, experiences, and methodologies with both military and civilian undergraduate students of leadership. Background Since 1984, the Naval Academy has hosted an annual leadership conference for senior cadets and midshipmen from each of the service academies. In 2002, the confer- ence expanded to include students from civilian universities and broadened its scope to include leadership topics relevant to government, business, and academia, as well as the military. Made possible through the generous support of the Class of ’38 and Mitch and Linda Hart, the USNA Leadership Conference now includes more than 200 participants from over 40 military and civilian colleges. In 2006, the Leadership Conference incorpo- rated a student generated and professionally published conference report that addressed key issues related to the conference theme. In recent years, the Leadership Conference has varied presentation formats and increased the amount of small group interaction and discussion in order to foster learning experiences among attendees. Theme for 2011 “Leader Development: The Cycle of Success” The success of any organization depends on a host of complex and dynamic factors, yet leader development, often overlooked or disregarded, plays a critical role.
