I Kepakemapa 1941, ua hoʻokumu ka Sokol ORP i ka hoʻolaha Mediterranean, a mākou i kākau ai ma Mortz ma 6/2017. Ua komo ka moku i 10 mau hoouka kaua, e hoopiholo ana i ka moku ukana Balilla a me ka moku kuna Giuseppin. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i hiki mai nā lā nani i kali ʻia a hiki i ka hoʻouka kaua Mediterranean e hiki mai ana, āna i hoʻomaka ai ma ʻOkakopa 1942.

Mai Iulai 16, 1942, ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana mai ke Kaiwaenahonua, noho ka Falcon ma Blyth, kahi i hoʻoponopono ʻia ai no ʻelua mahina. I kēlā manawa, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka ʻāpana i loko o ka 2nd submarine flotilla. A laila ua hoʻololi ʻia ke kūlana o ka luna o ka moku - ka luna. Lutanela ʻElua (hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia 6 Mei 3) Ua pani ʻia ʻo Boris Karnitsky e kahi kāpena 1942 makahiki. Mar. ʻO Jerzy Kozelkowski, ʻo ia ka hope alakaʻi o kēia pūʻulu no 31 mahina. Iulai 9 ʻO ka Haku Kai mua o ka ʻAmiralty, adm. mai ka mokukaua o Sir Dudley Pound, ua haawi aku oia i 28 o na ohua o ka Falcon i na mea hoonani koa Beritania kiekie loa no ka hana koa ma Navarino.

Ma hope o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana mai ka lā 20 o Kepakemapa a hiki i ka lā 12 o Dekemaba, 1942, ua hana ka moku i nā huakaʻi hoʻokolokolo a me nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa. Ua hoʻonoho ʻia ʻo ia i ka 3rd Flotilla ma Holy Loch, Scotland. Ma ka la 13 o Dekemaba i ka hora 13:00, ua holo aku ka Falcon, me 3 mau mokumoku Beritania P 339, P 223 a me Torbay a me ka moku hookahe kaua o Cape Palliser, i ka Loch Hemolele a hiki i Lerwick, kahi kahua ma ka pae aina o Shetland ma ka hikina akau o Scotland. No Sokol, ʻo ia ka 18 o ka mākaʻi kaua mai ke komo ʻana i ka lawelawe. ʻO ka lua wale nō o ka lā o ka huakaʻi i hōʻea ai ka poʻe holo moku i ko lākou kahua i koho ʻia ma ka mokupuni ʻo Shetland o ka ʻāina nui. Ua nalowale ka Falcon i kona heleuma i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻaʻole i pohō ka hull. Aia nā moku ma ke awa a hiki i ke awakea o ka lā 16 o Dekemaba, e kali ana i ka maikaʻi o ka lewa. I loko o kēia manawa, hoʻopiha ka poʻe hana i ka wahie a me nā lako.

Hele lākou i ke kai a noho i loko o ka wai no kekahi mau hola. Ma ka lā 18 o Dekemaba i ka hola 11:55, aia ka Sokol ma luna o ka ʻili i ka wā i ʻike ai ka poʻe kiaʻi i kahi mokulele ʻenemi e lele ana ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o nā haneli mau mika ma kahi mamao o 4 mau mile nautical ma kahi ʻaoʻao hema-komohana. Ua hāʻawi ʻo Kozilkovsky i ke kauoha e luʻu. ʻO ke koena o ka mākaʻikaʻi i hana mālie loa. Ma ka lā 19 o Dekemaba i ka hola 00:15 noho ʻo Sokół ma ke kūlana 67°03'N, 07°27'E. I nā hola aʻe, ua hoʻomau ʻo ia i kāna ʻāpana hana. ʻAʻole i loaʻa nā moku ʻenemi a me nā mokulele. A ma ka lā 20 o Kekemapa wale nō i ka hola 15:30, mahalo i ka mea ʻimi lekiō RDF, ua loaʻa kahi hōʻailona i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma kahi mamao o 3650 m. Noho ka Falcon ma kahi hohonu o 10 m, akā ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike ʻia ma o ka periscope. Ua loaʻa hou ka hōʻailona mai kahi mamao o 5500 m, ma hope o ka nalo ʻana o ka leo. ʻAʻohe mea i loaʻa no nā hola e hiki mai ana.

ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka mākaʻikaʻi o ka moku Polani e hoʻomalu i ka puka ʻākau o Altafjord ma Norewai. I kēlā manawa, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā moku Kelemania ma laila: ʻo ka moku kaua Tirpitz, nā moku holo moku nui ʻo Lutzow a me Adimarala Hipper, a me nā mea luku. Mai ka lā 21 a hiki i ka lā 23 Dekemaba, ua hoʻomau ka Falcon i kāna mau mākaʻikaʻi ma kahi o 71°08′ N, 22°30′ E, a laila kokoke i ka mokupuni ʻo Sørøya, aia ma ka puka ʻākau mai ka Altafjord. ʻElima mau lā ma hope mai, ma muli o nā kūlana hydrometeorological maikaʻi loa i pili i ka poʻe holo moku a me ka moku, ua hele mai kahi kauoha mai Holy Loch e haʻalele i ka ʻāpana.

I ka lā hope o Dekemaba 1942, i nā hola kakahiaka, aia ka Falcon i ka hohonu o ka periscope. N. Ma ka hola 09 ua ʻike ʻia kekahi mea hoʻopahū Heinkel He 10 ma 65°04'N, 04°18'E e hele ana i Trondheim, Norewai. I ke awakea, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Kozilkovsky no ka hiki ʻana mai o kekahi He 111 (111°64′ N, 40,30°03′ E), e hele ana paha i ka hikina. ʻAʻohe mea ʻē aʻe i hana i kēlā lā.

Ianuali 1, 1943 ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Ma 12:20 ma ka lae me nā koina 62°30′ N, 01°18′ E. ua ʻike ʻia kahi mokulele i ʻike ʻole ʻia, e holo ana paha no Stavanger. I ka lā aʻe ma ka hola 05:40 o ke kakahiaka, ma kahi o 10 nautical mile ma ka hikina o Out Sker, kahi pae moku no ka Shetland Islands, ua ʻike ʻia ke ahi nui ma 090 °. Ma hope o ka hapahā o ka hola, ua hoʻololi ʻia ka papa, e kaalo ana i ke kahua maina. Ma ka hola 11:00 ua hoʻi ka Falcon i Lerwick.

Ma hope o kēlā lā, ua hele mai nā kauoha hou e haʻi iā Kozilkowski e hele i Dundee. Ua hana ka Falcon i kēia huakaʻi ma ka hui o ka moku hoʻokele Dutch ʻO 14 a alakaʻi ʻia e ka mea lawaiʻa kaua ʻo HMT Loch Monteich.
