History
Sęp was built between 1964 and 1967 for the Royal Norwegian Navy by Nordseewerke in Emden, Germany. In 2001, She was decommissioned with the rest of the Kobbens still in service. Sęp, 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.{{Cite web |date=2018-01-20 |title=Marynarka Wojenna |url=http://www.navy.mw.mil.pl/index.php?akcja=kobben |access-date=2024-05-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120065437/http://www.navy.mw.mil.pl/index.php?akcja=kobben |archive-date=2018-01-20 }} She was decommissioned in December 2021 alongside her sister Bielik, with their decommissioning marking the end of active service for the Kobben class.{{Cite web |date=2021-12-25 |title=The End Of An Era – The "Bielik" And "Sęp" Submarines Decommissioned |url=https://milmag.pl/en/the-end-of-an-era-the-bielik-and-sep-submarines-decommissioned/ |access-date=2024-05-14 |website=MILMAG |language=en-US}}
