Polish Navy

The Polish Navy (Polish: Marynarka Wojenna, "navy") is the military branch of the Polish Armed Forces responsible for naval operations. The current navy consists of 113 ships (including 5 submarines, 2 frigates, 1 corvette, 3 missile boats - as of 2014) and about 18,000 commissioned and enlisted personnel. The traditional ship prefix in the Polish Navy is ORP (Okręt Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, "Vessel of the Republic of Poland").

The Polish Navy is one of the largest navies on the Baltic Sea and one of the best equipped. It is mostly responsible for Baltic Sea operations. Other duties include search and rescue operations covering parts of the Baltic, as well as hydrographic measurements and research.

Origins

The Polish Navy has its roots in naval vessels that were largely used on Poland's main rivers in defense of trade and commerce. During the Thirteen Years' War (1454–66), this small force of inland ships for the first time saw real open sea combat. At the battle of Vistula Lagoon, a Polish privateer fleet defeated the Teutonic Knights Navy and secured permanent access to the Baltic Sea. The Second Peace of Thorn (1466) acquired for Poland the strategic naval city of Danzig (Gdańsk), and with it the means of maintaining a large fleet on the Baltic. In 1561, following a victory over Russian Naval forces in the Baltic, the Polish Navy acquired a second key port at Riga, in modern-day Latvia.

PMW (All I Really Need)

"PMW (All I Really Need)" is a song by American hip hop recording artist ASAP Rocky, taken from Rocky's debut studio album Long. Live. ASAP (2013).

Background

On August 3, 2012 an unfinished tagged version of the song, without Schoolboy Q, was leaked titled "Pussy Money Weed", which was included on a DJ Clue mixtape. On December 18, the song was leaked along with the rest of Long. Live. ASAP. Schoolboy Q has also said him and Rocky might release a collaborative album together, due to their chemistry.
