	Swedish Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swedish Navy (Swedish: Marinen) is the naval branch of the Swedish Armed Forces.
		Surface warships in the Swedish navy are named after Swedish cities, while the submarines are named after Swedish provinces and the minehunters are named after Swedish islands.
		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.

	Main Document - Swedish-Russian War
		The Swedish galley was possibly the most beautiful ship of the entire navy, the slim and beautiful forms of the galley-types were designed for maneuverability, and the Swedish navy had even been sending officers to the Mediterranean to study the galleys used by the navies of those areas.
		The second division of the Swedish navy at Öland did not reach the fighting in time, this mainly due to the fact that its commander, Per Lilliehorn, did not follow orders to attack (for which he was later put to trial, convicted and barely escaped death as his life was spared by the government).
		The Russian navy never got a chance to deliver battle against the Swedish-British fleet cruising in the Bay of Finland, which was in its turn a good thing for the Swedish coastal fleet fighting in the Åbo-Åland archipelago, which could then operate free from the threat of the Russian high-sea navy interfering.

	Swedish Warship Losses in Denmark's Skanian War 1675-1679
		ELEPHANTEN was acquired by the Swedish navy in 1655.
		Though probably considered to be a "battleship" when acquired by the Swedish navy in 1652, the Danes rated the SVENSKE FALKEN as a "frigate" after her capture, although she had the largest dimensions of any Danish frigate until at least the end of the 17th Century.
		The Danish SVENSKE DIDERICH was sunk as a breakwater,

	Battles, Sweden, 1700s (1)
		The plan for the Swedish navy in the forthcoming war was to take control of the Gulf of Finland by keeping the Russian navy in ports or to destroy the Russian navy in sea battles.
		Another objective for the Swedish Navy was to prevent that the Russian Kronstadt squadron and the Revel squadron from joining their forces.
		On the contrary, the Swedish presence this close to the Russian capital St Petersburg was a threat on Russia and put a strain on the Empress Catharine II.

	The Navy before 1801
		The Navy under Christian IV Frederik II's son Christian IV (1588-1648) had inherited his father's interest for the navy, and during the next 60 years of his reign, the navy experienced a dramatic rise in prosperity.
		The Danish navy in 1658 was not equipped because of lack of funds.
		As in earlier wars, the navy’s task was to keep the Swedish navy in check, protect supplies to Norway and at the same time prevent the Swedes from doing the same with their possessions along the Baltic coast.

	The Swedish-Russian sea battles of 1790
		In 1788, the Swedish navy was in good shape, recently modernised with several ships designed by the naval architect Fredrik Henrik af Chapman.
		A Swedish navy unit of 400 ships (21 ships of line) was trapped in the relatively narrow bay leading to Viborg.
		The Swedish navy was commanded by the king, assisted by colonel lieutenant Carl Olof Cronstedt.

		They were a kind of “elite” seamen and together with the crew drafted from the merchant navy they performed the more advanced sailing duties onboard the ships.
		The Army officers lived in the same area as the soldiers, that is in the province of the regiment.
		In order to quickly get a enough navy seamen to the new naval base a great number of båtsmän and their families were subjected to a compulsory transfer to Karlskrona and Blekinge.

	The burial grounds of the Russian galley fleet in the Gulf of Bothnia (Finland) from 1714
		In honor of the victory, the name Gangut (from 'Hangöudd', the Swedish form of Hankoniemi) was thereafter reserved as the name of major Russian (and later Soviet) battleships.
		Early Finnish and Swedish sources on the Russian galley fleet expedition of 1714 are very meager, since organized Swedish government in Finland had collapsed.
		In 1701, part of the navy, the Moscow Navigation School, was fitted out with its own uniform; in 1707, the oarsmen of the aristocracy's galleys were similarly dressed, and in 1710 the seamen.

		Ambassador Krister Wahlbäck argues that the submarines intruding Swedish waters in the 1980s must have been Soviet submarines because of Soviet interest in the area, even though there is little hard evidence.
		In recent years, I have studied Swedish Navy documents from the submarine incidents in Swedish waters and had hundreds of interviews with relevant actors.
		It is an undeniable fact that the submarines repeatedly violating Swedish waters in the 1980s radically increased the Swedish awareness about the Soviet threat and radically increased Swedish military readiness against a Soviet attack.

		The Navy is trying to improve its anti-submarine tactics because many naval planners anticipate future battles will be in shallow, constricted off-shore littoral waters where small, quiet submarines might lurk.
		Because of its short endurance and age, Navy officials said, the Dolphin would not be a realistic substitute for modern subs.
		Using a Swedish submarine for extensive training would be a first for the U.S. Navy and would showcase an alternative to traditional American naval culture.

		The Swedish Navy's Visby corvette is designed to be virtually invisible in pursuit of hostile submarines and underwater mines.
		By 1993, budgetary considerations led the Navy to combine the YSM and YSS corvettes into a single class of corvette, the YS2000, or Surface Combatant 2000, which fulfills a variety of roles, including mine clearing and laying, submarine hunting, surface combat, surveillance, and control operations, in Swedish and international waters.
		Kockums partnered with the Swedish Navy, Defense Material Administration, and the Royal Institute of Technology to develop the new vessel, named the Visby in honor of a Swedish coastal city.
