ORP ''Dzik'' (Boar) was a U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness. She was laid down on 30 December 1941 as P-52 for the Royal Navy, but was transferred to the Polish Navy during construction. Launched on November 11, 1942, ORP ''Dzik'' was commissioned into the Polish Navy on December 12, 1942. Her name meant "Wild Boar" in Polish. 24 May 1943 Near Cape Spartivento, ORP Dzik fired a 4 torpedo salvo and damaged the Italian oil tanker ''Carnaro'' (8357 Brutto Register Tonnage). After the attack, two Italian corvettes dropped over 60 depth charges. 21 Sep 1943 ORP ''Dzik'' fired torpedoes in Bastia harbour, Corsica, France and sank the German tanker ''Nikolaus'' (6397, former Greek ''Nicolaou Ourania'') and the German tug ''Kraft'' (333 Brutto Register Tonnage). 8 Jan 1944 ORP ''Dzik'' sank the Greek sailing vessel ''Elleni'' (200 Brutto Register Tonnage) with gunfire off Lesbos Island, Greece in position 39.37N, 25.43E. ORP ''Dzik'' destroyed or damaged 18 surface ships both German and Italian with a total tonnage of 45,080 tons. She participated in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily, and also engaged enemy surface ships with her 76 mm cannon three times and the crew boarded two enemy ships. The ORP ''Dzik'' earned the Jolly Roger. In July 1946, the Polish Navy decommissioned her and returned her to the Royal Navy. In 1947, the ship was transferred to the Royal Danish Navy. She sailed as HDMS ''U-1'' and was later renamed to HDMS ''Springeren''. She was returned to the Royal Navy in April 1958 and scrapped. == Commanding officers == * August 28, 1942 - November 1944: Capt. Bolesław Romanowski * November 1944 - December 31, 1944: Lt.
