Retellings sometimes make ORP Piorun the only destroyer harassing Bismarck. Piorun's signal and aggressive approach are memorable, but four Royal Navy destroyers operated with her. Together they maintained pressure and attacks through the night rather than leaving the action to one celebrated ship. The correction preserves Piorun's distinction while restoring the combined destroyer operation around Bismarck.
