Piorun's extensive service after the Bismarck hunt

Piorun continued through an active war that included major operations and the postwar sinking of surrendered Type XXI submarines.

Question

Did Piorun take part in further operations after the Bismarck action?

Short answer

Yes. She had an active later war, including major operations such as Husky and later work connected with surrendered Type XXI submarines.

Notes

Piorun's operational career continued well beyond the Bismarck encounter. Later service included named operations such as Husky and involvement in disposing of surrendered German Type XXI U-boats. The Polish destroyer was a heavily employed allied warship whose record extended far beyond one dramatic signal.
