ORP Nurek was a Polish diving base ship from the interwar period and World War II. The keel for this unit was laid in 1935, and the launch took place in 1936. The displacement of the unit reached 110 tons. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 29 meters and 6 meters wide. The maximum speed did not exceed 10 knots. The armament at the time of the launch consisted of two 7.92 mm Maxim wz. 08 machine guns.

The quantitative development of the Polish Navy in the 1930s, as well as the acquisition of three Wilk-type submarines, made it necessary to have appropriate facilities, especially a rescue ship, which would also be a diving base. Such tasks were to be fulfilled by ORP Nurek, which was built by the Navy Port Workshops in Gdynia. A modernized engine, known from the Jaskółka-type minesweepers, was used as the drive. At ORP Nurek, there is also a specialized Polish-made decompression chamber. In the years 1936-1939, the unit performed various side and auxiliary tasks. Unfortunately, ORP Nurek was sunk on September 1, 1939 as a result of an air raid by the Luftwaffe on the Oksywie military port.
