Description

The submarine ORP Orzeł was built at the Dutch shipyard De Schelde from August 1936 to February 1939. It was powered by two 4,740 hp diesel engines or two 1,100 hp electric motors. The ship's speed on the surface / underwater was 19.4 / 8.9 knots. The crew consisted of 60 officers and sailors. The artillery armament consisted of a 105 mm gun, a 40 mm twin gun and a 13.2 mm AA gun. The main armament of the ship was 12 torpedo tubes. Draft up to 100 m. In the first phase of the war, he defended the coast. The ship was attacked several times by the Germans with depth charges. The eagle initially headed towards Gotland. Due to the difficult situation on the defended coast, the ship's commander probably suffered from depression. Given an order to dock in Tallinn for restocking. There, the ship with the crew was interned, stripped of maps and disarmed. The commander of the ship was taken to the hospital. Captain Grudziński took command. Despite the confiscation of the maps, the ship escaped from Tallinn after proper preparation of the escape and will escape the Estonian artillery. The German Navy hunted the Eagle until the Polish ship daringly crossed the Øresund Strait. The Eagle reached Great Britain, where it was included in the Second Submarine Flotilla. After repairs in Dundee, it patrolled the North Sea. On one of the patrols on April 8, 1940, he torpedoed and sank on the Norwegian coast, the German transport ship Rio de Janeiro, carrying supplies and German soldiers. At the same time, it was a clear proof that Germany was planning an invasion of Norway. On a patrol in May / June 1940 in the North Sea, the Eagle encountered its destiny - it was lost with the entire crew, most likely sunk by the Allies by mistake. The wreck is still being searched for, but has not yet been found.
