HMS Västervik

Built as a Norrköping-class torpedo boat, launched 1974, and along with the rest of her class converted to a missile boat in the eighties by replacing the four rear torpedo tubes. Here with four missile launchers, but for combat those would be double stacked for a total of eight.

During the "whiskey on the rocks" incident in 1981, it was on board this ship that the Russian sub commander was interrogated.

When I visited the Marinmuseum they had forgotten to lock the door to the turret on that boat.
They had also routed power to the boat to get the lights on.
I managed to get power to the turret, spin up the gyro stabilizers, illuminate the sights but I pussied out from actually flipping the switch that released the turret to be swung about.
I did not want to get thrown out and with kids climbing about the ship, it would be quite hazardous to turn a powered turret.

And it's still better than the LCS. We ought to build these instead.

Model of HMS Neptun, second of thee Näcken class submarines. This was the first Swedish submarine class to be computer-controlled, so while not exactly modern any more, the interior supposedly looks very much like what you'd see inside, say, the Gotland class, with the electronics behind the panels being what's changed. Well, that and the Stirling motor of the new ones for those who can recognise such when they see it.

Launched 1978, decommissioned 1998, 1030/1085 tons, 50m long.

Thanks for posting Anon. :)

And that's that. Nice place, free admission at the moment (until the government swings back form left to right I guess), and I can't imagine there being all that many places around where you can have a look around a submarine.

Down in port I also saw HMS Orion, HMS Halland, a bit of HMS Gotland's conning tower and a Visby class corvette, but photographing those (or rather the port installation itself) would have been, well, ill advised.

Oh, and is there some stealth ship around in size between a Visby and a Norwegian Skjold class?

To empty the sewage tank, open the white valve, pull the red lever left, wait until things are empty, pull back right again and finally close the white valve.

I'm guessing pulling it pressurises the sewage tank to press the shit out. If the intended outlet is closed when you do that, but the pipe to the bowl is open (as if to flush), then I have a feeling you won't be terribly popular with the rest of the crew for a while.

Thanks again.

Yeah thank you for the nice pictures, i've served in Karlskrona for 9 months. The ship you're wondering about is HMS Smyge, look it up on wikipedia. It's a really cool ship which served as the prototype and predecessor for the Visby-class corvette.
It looks amazing

Yep, that's the one. Only saw it at quite a distance (for my eyes at least), so I wasn't even certain if it was a ship or some kind of mockup.
