The vessel was built by the State Engineering Works shipyard in Modlin, launched on 23 April 1932, and entered service with the Border Guard exactly two months later at Hel in the Baltic Sea.

[1] She was the biggest and fastest vessel of the Border Guard, classified also as "pursuit cutter" (kuter pościgowy).

[1] Just after nightfall on 1 October, on the eve of the surrender of the Hel Peninsula, the crew, taking advantage of a thick fog, escaped across the Baltic to neutral Sweden.

In the Stalinist period she was renamed to 7 Listopada ("7th November", a date of the October Revolution), then Dzierżyński (Felix Dzerzhinsky).

[2] From 1959 she served as a training and rescue vessel of the LPŻ on the Vistula in Warsaw, and next – of the new paramilitary organization Liga Obrony Kraju (Home Defence League) on Zegrze Reservoir, under a name KP-1 Batory.
