Design and description

Шаблон:Main

HSwMS Härnösand is the third ship of the Шаблон:Sclasss.[2] It was built by Kockums at the Karlskrona naval base, and was the first of four vessels of the class which are designed for coastal warfare.[3]

The hull of the vessel is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, a stealth technology, in order to make the vessel difficult to detect by other forces. A minimum of external equipment is stored outside of the vessel, with equipment such as liferafts being stored inside the hull.[4] This hull also reduces the weight of the vessel by around half. It was intended to be radar silent until it moves within Шаблон:Convert of an enemy vessel, resulting in designer John Nillson saying of it, "Naval officers fall in love with [this] ship. It's not classically beautiful. In fact it looks like a lunchbox. But it has better maneuverability and can achieve that level of stealth."[3]

Construction and career

Härnösand was launched 16 December 2004 and named by crown princess Victoria. She was commissioned on 16 December 2009.
