In the nomenclature used by the Navy of the Second Polish Republic, ORP Czapla was referred to as a mine layer.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by independent Polish Wikipedia article using nearly identical wording, plus supporting sources on Jaskółka-class vessel classification. Some nuance exists between 'minowiec' (mine vessel) and English 'minelayer' vs 'minesweeper' terminology, but the core naming claim is corroborated.
