ORP Krakowiak (L115)
ORP ''Krakowiak'' was a British Type II Hunt-class destroyer escort, used by the Polish Navy during World War II. Initially built for the Royal Navy, it bore the name of HMS ''Silverton'' during British use.
==History==
The ship was laid down on 5 December 1939 in the J. Samuel White Shipyard in Cowes. Almost a year later it was launched and commissioned by the Royal Navy as HMS ''Silverton''. However, it never entered service in the British naval forces due to lack of experienced crews. Instead, on 20 April 1941 she was leased to the Polish Navy. Officially commissioned on 22 May of that year, she was renamed ORP ''Krakowiak'', after either a folk dance from Kraków or an inhabitant of that city.
As she was the first ship of her class to be handed to the Poles, until 10 July 1941, her crew spent most of their time training and getting to know the ship. After that date she entered line service in convoy escort role in the North Atlantic. In December of that year she was among the ships to take part in the successful raid against a German naval outpost at Lofoten islands. Throughout the war she also patrolled the North Sea, often engaging in skirmishes with German torpedo boats. In 1943 she was moved to the Mediterranean, where she took part in, among others, the Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily, and later in the Dodecanese Campaign. Altogether, during the Second World War she covered over escorting 206 different convoys, including nine in the North Atlantic. She downed three enemy planes, but the number of enemy vessels sunk is unclear.
