Site where the John Brown Shipyard stood, Clydebank The O.R.P. Piorun played a crucial role during the Clydebank Blitz. On March 13, 1941, the Polish destroyer was docked at the John Brown Shipyard for repairs when Clydebank was subjected to a devastating Luftwaffe air raid1. The crew of the O.R.P. Piorun actively defended the town by firing upon enemy aircraft, helping to prevent further destruction and loss of life. Their valiant efforts were later commemorated with a plaque, in Solidarity Plaza, dedicated to the crew's bravery. Additionally, this plaque was installed at the site where the John Brown Shipyard once stood, commemorating the shipyard's significant contributions and the historical events that took place there. --- ORP Piorun was an N-class destroyer operated by the Polish Navy in World War II. The word piorun is Polish for "Thunderbolt". Ordered by the Royal Navy in 1939, the ship was laid down as HMS Nerissa before being loaned to the Poles in October 1940 while still under construction.
