+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a British-built G-class destroyer loaned to the Polish Navy in 1940, under the previous designation of HMS Garland. She operated as part of convoy escorts for almost the entirety of the Second World War and visited most of the war theatres.
 She was introduced during [[Update "New Power"]] as a reward for [[Battle Pass: Season I]]. Ex-HMS Garland performs very similar to the playstyle of the sister ship already in the regular tree, the destroyer [[G-class (H89)|HMS Grafton (H89)]]. While, at the same time, having some pros and cons on her own. Such as the increased variety of secondary armaments that reinforce the support role of this class. Unfortunately, some drawbacks in mobility are present, as well as reductions in the main armament to increase the auxiliary armament.

 The Garland (H37) appears more aggressive than the escort destroyers [[Town (L45)]] and the [[Hunt (Family)]], this is thanks to her long and taller hull with a raked type of bow that provides increased sea-worthiness and enhanced cruising speed - at least before armaments refits. The destroyer can be differentiated from the similar [[G-class (H89)]] because of the Polish naval ensign with a horizontal bicoloured red and white, located in the stern of the ship. Another way to differentiate between the two is the Garland's light grey hull painting and the olive-green coloured upper decks. The Grafton's hull will be painted black with maroon red upper decks, though these colour schemes might vary in arctic scenarios. Garland's second funnel top is lower, a stern-located 120 mm cannon and one set of quadruple torpedo tubes is also missing.
-Knowing these armament layout and visual differences should help to recognise these destroyers since ORP Garland lacks the destroyer vs. destroyer armaments of the HMS Grafton, and HMS Grafton lacks the support armament of the ORP Garland.
