"Orzeł" was to take the position furthest inside Danzig Bay, from Jastarnia to the estuary of the Vistula river. East of "Orzeł", in the entry to the Bay, was the place for "Wilk". The remaining three submarines were to operate north of the Bay: "Sęp" was further West near Rozewie, "Ryś" was further east, and "Żbik" in the middle. They had separate areas for recharging batteries during the night: "Orzeł" even deeper within Danzig Bay, and the other ships north of their positions.
