Polish Navy training ship ORP "Wodnik" 251 arrived at the port of Lora in Split on July 8, 2024. This visit is organized as part of bilateral military cooperation with the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, and the ship will remain in Split until July 12, 2024.

ORP "Wodnik" 251 was built in 1975 at the Stocznia Północna shipyard in Gdansk. During the Gulf War (1990/1991), the ship was temporarily converted into an evacuation hospital ship.

The ship has a displacement of 1,745 tons, a length of 72.2 meters, a width of 12 meters, and a draft of 4.2 meters. This is the second visit of the ship to Split; the first visit was in June 2014. The crew consists of 128 members, and the commander is Frigate Captain Rafał Prętnik.

The visit program includes an official reception at the Headquarters of the Croatian Navy, as well as a friendly mini-football match with the Croatian Navy team.

During their stay in Split, the crew of the ORP "Wodnik" will participate in various activities organized to strengthen the ties between the two navies. In addition to official meetings, visits to cultural landmarks of Split and exchanges of experiences between crew members and hosts are planned.

This visit also provides an opportunity to demonstrate the ship's technical capabilities and exchange knowledge between experts from both countries. The visit will conclude with a farewell ceremony on July 12, when the ship will continue its journey to the next destination.

The visit of ORP "Wodnik" confirms the ongoing cooperation between Croatia and Poland and strengthens the friendly relations between the two countries. Such visits contribute to better understanding and cooperation in the field of defense and security.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
