[edit] blyskawica

The account of Blyskawica's defence of Cowes, Isle of Wight, on the night of 4/5 May 1942 is incorrect.

The ship DID NOT slip her moorings and go out into the harbour (or beyond) - but remained alongside the quay of J Samuel White's West Cowes shipyard. Indeed the ship remained connected to the on-shore electric power, which could have been used if the vessel had lost its own power (which it did not).

There is an account of a shipyard worker who refused to go to an air raid shelter, so that he could maintain J Samuel White's generator that could have supplied power to the ship.
