Absolutely agree. It's possible that the Whiskey in question was Soviet in origin, but beached and abandoned by it's crew because of battle damage. The enterprising Poles then salvaged it and have slowly carried out repair as resource came available.
But, with only 230 Naval personnel in Gdynia, and most of the vessels little more than rusting hulks, it's bound to be VERY slow going on repairs (also likely to be well down the list or priorities).
