ORP Grom is an Orkan-class fast attack craft. It is the sister ship of Orkan and Piorun.
The ship was the result of a construction project undertaken by the German Democratic Republic for its navy, named Project 660 ("Sassnitz class" in NATO code[3]). After the unification of Germany the unfinished hulls were bought by the Polish Navy from VEB Peenewerft shipyard in Wolgast and completed in Northern Shipyard in Gdańsk.[2]
After its completion in 1995 the ship was incorporated into the 31st Rocket Warships Squadron, 3rd Ship Flotilla.[citation needed]
