The Polish Navy's landing ship/minelayer Lublin 821 in the Sound

The Polish Navy's landing ship/minelayer Lublin 821 in Øresund.

Yesterday a former Soviet Navy landing ship, the Minsk 127, was going northward in Øresund. Today, another landing ship from the end of the cold war era - the Polish Navy's Lublin 821 - was going in the same direction. 

The 95.4 m x 10.8 m Lublin was commissioned at an interesting time - in October 1989 - only weeks after the first Polish government led by non-communists was appointed.
