Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared that Poland is re-establishing itself as a dominant naval force in the Baltic Sea on Wednesday during the official christening ceremony of the ORP Wicher, the nation's first new Miecznik-class multi-purpose frigate. Speaking at the PGZ Naval Shipyard in Gdynia, Tusk highlighted the 15-billion-zloty ($3.8 billion) program as a vital deterrent against potential aggression and critical for protecting offshore wind farms, energy infrastructure, and coastal ports. Built on British shipbuilder Babcock's Arrowhead 140 design, the vessel represents the largest modernization effort in Polish Navy history, with Tusk noting that UK defense partners viewed the heavily adapted, upgraded Polish variant "with envy" ahead of the ship's official lowering into the Gulf of Gdansk. #poland #gdynia #orpwicher #donaldtusk #miecznik #balticsea #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #ctvnews #usnews #geopolitics In this Times Now World News report, we break down the t
