    S-25 was decommissioned on 4 November 1941, and transferred, simultaneously to Great Britain. Renamed HMS P. 551, she was then loaned to the government of Poland, in exile, and was accepted by Lt. Comdr. B. Romanowski of the Polish Navy and commissioned as Jastrzab [("Hawk") (P-551)]. Jastrzab was mistakenly sunk by Allied convoy escorts [HMS Seagull and Norwegian destroyer St. Albans] off Norway on 2 May 1942 [while assigned to escort the convoy from the Shetlands to Murmansk, at 71°30' N, 12°32'E].
