The submarine ORP “Sęp” in Polish military historiography
The last one adopted before 1939 for service in the Polish Navy, most often appears as a twin ship of the legendary ORP “Orzeł”. The war history of ORP “Sęp” was short, covering only a few days of the Polish campaign. Interned in Sweden, the ship lived to see the end of World War II there. He returned to Poland together with his commanding officer – lieutenant commander Władysław Salamon. He served in the Polish Navy until 1969. Its history is hidden in the shadows, not receiving the proper attention from historians.
