    ORP Piorun was a british destroyer class N, named "Nerissa".
    The crew of the ship was formed (in majority) from crew of polish destroyer "Grom", sunked May 4th, 1940 in Narvik, Norway (Rombakken fiord).
    And the name "Piorun" (Lightning) was alternative to "Grom" (Thunderbolt). However, the sistership of "Grom" was named "Blyskawica" (also Lightning).
    "Blyskawica" is the musem-ship in Gdynia. There are a lot of movies @YT with "Blyskawica".
    And there is comparison of models "Bismarck" and "Piorun" at the same scale:

      Grom = Thunder (sound)
      Piorun = Lightning (physical phenomenon)
      Błyskawica = Lightning bolt (what we see)

      All Vian's destroyers get the same risk: they started torpedo attacks to Bismarck.
      But one is clear: "Piorun" found "Bismarck" in night and storm.
      Exactly one man: mat Edward Dolecki. And his announcement was: "The ship right in front of the bow! What a barn!"
      One hour with german battleship. One to one.

      AI sucks in some areas, yes, but also excells in others. It only up you you which one you prefer.
