HSwMS Malmö was a destroyer of the Royal Swedish Navy that served during the Second World War and in the Cold War. The third member of the Шаблон:Sclass or City class, an improvement on the previous Шаблон:Sclass, Malmö was launched on 22 September 1938. The destroyer served during the war on neutrality patrols and escorts, as well as the evacuation of Gotland in 1941. After the war, the ship was upgraded multiple times. Armament was improved with the introduction of the Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun in 1951 and the Squid mortar ten years later. The latter followed the redefinition of Malmö as an anti-submarine frigate. The ship served in that role for a short time, being decommissioned on 1 February 1965 and broken up as the part of a wider Swedish naval programme of retiring destroyers and frigates.

Design and development

Шаблон:Main The Шаблон:Sclass or City class were a development of the Шаблон:Sclass with a higher speed achieved by introducing superheating and lightening the structure through using welding rather than rivets. After the success of the first two members of the class, Шаблон:HSwMS and Шаблон:HSwMS, both laid down in 1933, the Swedish Riksdag authorised an additional two ships of the same design in 1936.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The first of this second batch was Malmö.Шаблон:Sfn

Displacing Шаблон:Convert standard and Шаблон:Convert full load, Norrköping had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars. Beam was Шаблон:Convert and maximum draught Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn Power was provided by three Penhoët oil-fired boilers feeding two de Laval geared steam turbines driving two shafts. The ship had two funnels. New materials allowed the boilers to be superheated to Шаблон:Convert, which raised the rated power to e Шаблон:Convert to give a design speed of Шаблон:Convert. In trials, the destroyer exceeded this, reaching Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn A total of Шаблон:Convert of fuel oil was carried to give a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn

The main armament consisted of three Шаблон:Convert K/45 M24C dual-purpose guns produced by Bofors. These were placed in separate mounts on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft and one between the funnels.Шаблон:Sfn The guns were of a loose-barrel type, weighed Шаблон:Convert and fired a Шаблон:Convert projectile at Шаблон:Convert}.Шаблон:Sfn Air defence consisted six Шаблон:Convert M/40 autocannons in three twin mounts, also provided by Bofors. Two triple rotating torpedo tube mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedoes were aft of the superstructure and two depth charge throwers were carried further towards the stern. Approximately forty mines could also be carried for minelaying.Шаблон:Sfn The ship had a complement of 135 officers and ratings.Шаблон:Sfn

Construction and career

Malmö was laid down by Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad in Gothenburg, launched on 22 September 1938 and commissioned on 15 August the following year.Шаблон:Sfn Named after the city, the ship was allocated the pennant number J7 and joined the Coastal Fleet.Шаблон:Sfn During the Second World War, Malmö was involved in patrolling Swedish waters to protect Swedish neutrality.Шаблон:Sfn The vessel also provided escort to merchant ships travelling in Swedish waters and, during October 1941, was involved in the evacuation of Gotland to Nynäshamn.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

At the end of the war, Malmö remained in service for another five years until, between 1950 and 1951, being given a substantial modernisation. The hull was rebuilt with a beam extended to Шаблон:Convert and displacement increased to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The bridge was enlarged and better fire control was fitted, along with a tripod with radar to replace the pole mast.Шаблон:Sfn The armament was updated. The central gun was moved aft to a superfiring position. This greatly enhanced the operational capability as the funnels had restricted fire. The anti-aircraft guns were replaced with four single [[Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/70|Bofors Шаблон:Convert]] L/70 guns.Шаблон:Sfn

Malmö was rerated a frigate on 1 January 1961 along with the rest of the class. The ship was taken out of service and once again upgraded. The central gun and the torpedo tubes were replaced by two Squid anti-submarine mortars and four more single Bofors Шаблон:Convert L/70 guns were mounted around the aft funnel.Шаблон:Sfn The frigate reentered service in 1962 and was used in an anti-submarine role with the pennant number F78.Шаблон:Sfn During the 1960s, the Swedish Navy decided to retire the larger frigates in the fleet as newer missile-equipped fast attack craft became the mainstay of the surface fleet.Шаблон:Sfn Malmö was decommissioned on 1 February 1965 and subsequently broken up.Шаблон:Sfn
