The ship was built at the Vickers-Armstrong shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, United Kingdom, and commissioned on December 12, 1941, under the command of Lieutenant R.Q. Røren. The ship's design emphasized compactness and maneuverability, qualities particularly important during coastal operations in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. The ship primarily served on patrols off the coast of German-occupied Norway, conducting seven successful combat missions and sinking several German ships. In February 1943, it participated in Operation Seagull, the aim of which was to land Norwegian commandos in Bodø and support resistance operations. Unfortunately, on February 10, 1943, Uredd was sunk in a German minefield. The entire 34-person crew perished, along with six commandos from the Linge Company. The wreck was not discovered until 1985, and the Uredd became a symbol of remembrance and heroism in the Norwegian Navy.Details of the HNoMS Uredd set from COBI:142 high-quality pieces - each block was designed with attention to detail in the hull, conning tower and rudders to faithfully reproduce the submarine's distinctive silhouette.Movable steering elements and propellers enhance the model's realism and allow for the creation of dynamic underwater patrol scenes.1:300 scale - the model perfectly complements the COBI 1:300 series of ships, alongside ORP Orzel, ORP Dzik, HMS Upholder and German vessels such as the U-47 and U-96.
