"The crew members of the only buoyant submarine in the Polish Navy call for help. In an anonymous open letter, the sailors warn that the submarine OrzeĊ (Adler) is "in a deplorable technical condition, and every journey can end with sinking and our death". In a recent maneuver there were problems with the surface, with the drive, the sonar, the communication and the armament. The sailors write: "The fact that the eagle is still swimming can only be described as a miracle." The 73-meter-long submarine, built in the Soviet Union in 1985, was put back into service five years ago "despite our protests"...."
Has anybody more info on that?
