ORP Wicher (Template:Lang-en) was a Project 30bis destroyer, transferred to the People's Republic of Poland from the Soviet Union in 1958.[2] She was built by the Zhdanov shipyard in Leningrad and originally commissioned into the Soviet Baltic Fleet as the Skoryy ("Rapid") in 1951, and transferred to Poland in 1958 together with a second ship, ORP Grom.[1] The ship was decommissioned in 1975, and scrapped.[1] One of the 130 mm guns is preserved in the Polish Navy Museum in Gdynia.[3]
