As informed, the launching ceremony for SIGINT ORP Jerzy Różycki took place on July 1, 2025. The launching of the SIGINT vessel is a significant milestone in its construction process, following the first steel cut in April 2023 and keel laying the same year.

Before entering service, the ship will be equipped with the necessary reconnaissance systems and will undergo sea trials.

“This project exemplifies how nations around the Baltic Sea, with similar needs and experiences, can come together to develop solutions that benefit us all. It demonstrates the type of advanced technology and capabilities that will be imperative for Europe to stand strong against emerging threats and ensure the safety of our people and societies,” said Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab.

The vessels within the DELFIN program are built by Saab as the prime contractor. Remontowa Shipbuilding is subcontracted to construct the ships, with the Polish company MMC supporting Saab with design work.

Saab is fully responsible for supplying and integrating the advanced mission systems. Other entities within the Polish defence industry are also involved in the implementation of the project

The company was awarded the contract in November 2022. The deliveries are planned for 2027.
