		The political decision to undertake this reform is a consequence of the radically altered threat picture and the emerging common approach to European security as well as the rapid pace of development, both in technology and in European society at large.
		The Swedish Parliament, the Riksdag, and the Government decide the tasks to be undertaken by the Swedish Armed Forces.
		The Swedish Armed Forces are to prepare in peacetime to defend Sweden in war against armed attacks that could threaten our freedom and independence.

	Navy
		A navy is a military organisation that primarily operates in sea-based war.
		A modern navy typically uses a combination of ships, boats, submarines, and aircraft launched from aircraft carriers.
		Merchant navy is a British and Commonwealth term for the civilian seafaring industry, recognizing both the shared hazards of seafaring activity during wartime, as well as the expectation that civilian vessels may be put under various kinds of control by military authorities.

	Swedish Navy
		The Swedish Navy (Swedish Marinen) is the navy branch of the Swedish Armed Forces.
		Unlike many of the larger navies the Swedish was changed into a costal defence force after the Second World War and is not meant to project force on other countries.
		For many years the Swedish navy was built around a single task, to stop a full-scale invasion over the Baltic Sea, preferably by creating massive losses before the enemy could reach the shore.

	Admiral Claës Lindsström, Swedish Neutrality, and The Swedish Coast Artillery
		With growing surprise he found a commanding admiral, on the Swedish east coast, who was a friend of Germany and of the Nazis.
		In addition, he aimed at procuring, for the Royal Swedish Navy, battleships modelled on the German types, and with all the means at his disposal he tried to stop the expansion of the Coast Artillery in the Stockholm archipelago.
		These attempts on his part were mainly blocked by the Swedish Chief of Naval Operations and were not part of his Nazi sympathies, I think, but rather a way to transfer money to the Navy to build Swedish battleships.

		With the introduction into Singaporean service of four ex-Swedish Navy submarines and the addition of new stealth frigates on order from France the RSN will soon be in a position to exert 'Sea Dominance' on, over and under the waters surrounding the Singapore Strait.
		The RSN is aware that a mining campaign conducted in the waters of the Singapore and Malacca Straits could have a devastating impact on both the economy of the island state, and on the RSN's movements.
		All in all, the RSN has developed into a capable navy, emerging from its brown-water status to a green-water force, capable of controlling its direct area of operational interest, which just happens to be one of the most busy and influential waterways in the world.

		Of the three service branches, the navy was the least involved in national politics and therefore was able to concentrate more of its time and efforts on its security mission.
		Rivalry between the Royal Thai Marine Corps and the new Air and Coastal Defense Command (ACDC) is of national concern.
		The navy is also taking steps to upgrade its maintenance and support capability, partly as a result of the acquisition of the large aircraft carrier and replenishment ship.

		Royal Navy officials and independent naval analysts seem to agree that, despite some articles to the contrary in the British media, it is most unlikely and probably impossible that any of the CVFs could be built in a French shipyard.
		Weapons developed for the Soviet Navy during the Cold War tended to be much larger than contemporary American and French intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
		The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) wants to replace the stricken frigates Prasae and Tachin--ex-U.S. Navy patrol frigates (PFs) dating from World War II--which were deleted in 2000.

		The battle was a decisive Swedish victory; the Russians entered peace negotiations; peace was signed at VAERAELAE on August 14th 1790.
