This is a list of Swedish cruisers of the period 1896-1945.
The Battle of Køge Bay (1710) also referred to as the Second Battle of Køge Bay, was an indecisive battle that took place on 4 October 1710, during the Great Northern War, in Køge Bay, just south of Copenhagen. Denmark had 26 ships of the line and 5 frigates with 1808 guns, and Sweden had 21 ships of the line and several frigates with 1512 guns. The Danish ship Dannebroge exploded and of the 550-man crew only 9 survived. The Swedish ships Tre Kronor and Prinsessan Ulrika Eleonora ran aground. Because of the weather the battle could not continue. However, the Swedish fleet managed to sink and capture a Danish convoy of transport ships that were supposed to embark a Russian invasion force in Danzig. The action in Køge Bugt checked those Russian invasion plans of Sweden.
HSwMS Tre Kronor was a cruiser built for the Royal Swedish Navy during the Second World War.
HSwMS Småland (J19) is a Swedish Halland-class destroyer. She and HSwMS Halland were the only ones built of their class. Two more ships were ordered but they were never completed.
Coastal defence ships were warships built for the purpose of coastal defence, mostly during the period from 1860 to 1920. They were small, often cruiser-sized warships that sacrificed speed and range for armour and armament. They were usually attractive to nations that either could not afford full-sized battleships or could be satisfied by specially designed shallow-draft vessels capable of littoral operations close to their own shores. The Nordic countries and Thailand found them particularly appropriate for their island-dotted coastal waters. Some vessels had limited blue-water capabilities; others operated in rivers.
Several ships of the Chilean Navy have been named Almirante Latorre after Juan José Latorre:
The 1.-class torpedo boat was a designation in the Scandinavian countries for a type of fast steam ships on more than 80 tons.
The Tre Kronor class was a class of two cruisers built for the Swedish Navy during World War II, comprising Tre Kronor and Göta Lejon. Tre Kronor was discarded in 1968 and Göta Lejon was sold to Chile in 1971. Renamed Almirante Latorre, she remained in service until being discarded in 1986.
HSwMS Göta Lejon was a Swedish cruiser. Together with her sister ship Tre Kronor, they were the largest ships ever to serve in the Royal Swedish Navy. In 1971 Göta Lejon was sold to Chile where she was renamed Almirante Latorre and served in the Chilean Navy until 1984. She was sold to Taiwan in 1986 to be scrapped.
Western Military District, originally III Military District was a Swedish military district, a command of the Swedish Armed Forces that had operational control over Western Sweden, for most time of its existence corresponding to the area covered by the counties of Gothenburg and Bohus, Älvsborg, Skaraborg and Halland. The headquarters of Milo V were located in Skövde.
HSwMS Claes Uggla was a Örnen-class torpedo cruiser built for the Swedish Navy during the 1890s, named after the 17th-century admiral Claes Uggla. The ship's name is spelled as Clas Uggla in some English-language sources. She ran aground and sank on 22 June 1917.
The Bofors 152 mm kanon m/42 is a naval gun for use on ships. It was initially used aboard light cruisers and cruisers including the Swedish Tre Kronor class and the Dutch De Zeven Provinciën class, after World War II. The last active ship to use the gun was the Peruvian Navy cruiser BAP Almirante Grau and was the largest naval gun still in active service prior to the commissioning of USS Zumwalt in October 2016, which is armed with the 155 mm Advanced Gun System.
Rear Admiral Knut Mauritz "Moje" Östberg was a Swedish Navy officer. Östberg's senior commands include postings as captain of the coastal defence ships HSwMS Dristigheten and HSwMS Manligheten as well as captain of the seaplane cruiser HSwMS Gotland. He also served as commanding officer of the West Coast Naval District as well as naval attaché in Berlin, Washington, D.C. and Ottawa.
Captain Nils Harry Martin Bong was a Swedish Navy officer. Bong served as commanding officers of the torpedo boat HSwMS Antares, the cruisers HSwMS Örnen and HSwMS Tre Kronor, and the coastal defence ship HSwMS Oscar II. He also served as commanding officer of the Gothenburg Squadron and of the Karlskrona Naval Training Schools.
Vice Admiral Alfred Erik Bertil Berthelsson was a senior naval officer in the Swedish Navy. Berthelsson served as flag captain (1951–1953), as Chief of the Naval Staff (1953–1957), as Commander-in-Chief of the Coastal Fleet (1957–1961) and as commanding officer of the Naval Command South (1961–1966).
HSwMS Halland (J18) was the lead ship of the Halland-class destroyer. She and HSwMS Småland were the only ones built of their class. Two more ships were ordered but they were never completed.
The Örnen class was a class of five torpedo cruisers built for the Swedish Navy between 1896 and 1899. All of the cruisers participated in the Swedish neutrality patrol during the First World War from 1914–1918.
