Also for your second question HMS Ulven (Submarine) was hit by a German Mine and sank in the southern Baltic,

Actually HMS Ulven hit a German mine in international waters off the west coast of Sweden, just north of Gothenburg. After having searched for a couple of months of she was eventually found and recovered by the Navy (and later scrapped). She was lost with all hands.

Hi Bengtsson,
There was HMS Psilander (destroyer) which were originaly Itailian and was sold to Sweden in 1940.

Also for your second question HMS Ulven (Submarine) was hit by a German Mine and sank in the southern Baltic,
in April 1943.

Yes and also on a final point: after studies of the RN aircraft carriers Sweden sought to build a aircraft carrier but due to problems with the tight budget of a smaller navy. The new cruiser HMS Gotland was converted instead, but she only had a compliment of around 6 aircraft, but this many was never carried and the idea was abandoned.
So she was converted to a AA cruiser by the early wartime period.

  Post subject:  Sjolejonet submarine, a great subject!!!  Reply with quote
It is for me a very good new know your building project.

I have plans of the sjolejonet submarine, very dificult to find, and also plans of the Draken submarine.

Neptun and Delfinen submarine (minelaying) are also good ones.
(I need plans of these submarines)

I am also interested on swedish surface vessels, like the destroyer Stockholm.(there are model plans available)

A great new :thumbs_up_1:
