ORP Kaszub was a small submarine of Soviet M class (postwar series XV) which served in the Polish Navy from 1954 to 1963.[1]
It was built in the Soviet Union in 1951-1952, and initially served in the Soviet Baltic Fleet as M-290. It was the first of six Soviet-made submarines to be transferred to the Polish Navy in the 1950s. The ceremony of raising the Polish flag on the submarine took place on June 5, 1954.
