WARSAW Poland's state-run defense firm PGZ has signed a memorandum of understanding with French military shipbuilder DCNS that could allow them to work together on building submarines in Poland, PGZ said in a statement.
The agreement marks an improvement in relations between Poland and France after Warsaw last year canceled a preliminary $3.4 billion helicopter deal with France's Airbus, a decision which has angered Paris.
"The signed agreement guarantees PGZ and the shipyards owned by PGZ ... a possibility to co-operate on building submarines in Poland," PGZ's Chief Executive Arkadiusz Siwko said in a statement published by the company.

Someone please help me understand something? Poland is a land locked nation. WTF are they doing building submarines?
It’s like Pakistan having a navy....
