History
Sęp was built between 1964 and 1967 for the Royal Norwegian Navy by Nordseewerke in Emden, Germany. In 2001, it was decommissioned with the rest of the Kobbens still in service. It, along with Bielik (Ex-Svenner), Sokół (Ex-Stord), Kondor (Ex-Kunna) and Jastrząb (Ex-Kobben, parts boat) were given to the Polish Navy between 2002 and 2004[2]. It was decommissioned in December 2021 alongside its sister Bielik, with the decommissioning marking the end of active service for the Kobben class.[3]
