Poland has begun construction of a second electronic intelligence ship for the national fleet. The ship was laid down at the shipyard of the Remontowa Shipbuilding company. This was reported by UNN with reference to the company's press service.
Details
The ship, which will be named Henryk Zygalski, has already completed the preliminary hull assembly stage and has begun assembling individual elements.
During the ceremony, a commemorative coin was welded into the ship's keel. A protocol was also signed confirming the laying of the keel.
These will be reliable and advanced units designed to facilitate the collection of communications and electronic data. We believe that these ships will increase the intelligence gathering capabilities of our Navy and Army and enhance not only our security, but also the security of NATO and the European Union
It is noted that this is the second electronic intelligence ship being built under the Dolphin program.
