HSwMS Carlskrona (in Swedish: HMS Carlskrona) is the longest vessel in the Swedish Navy at 105.7 metres (346 ft 9 in). Carlskrona was built by the Karlskrona shipyard, the largest ship ever built there. Not only was the ship designed as a minelayer but she was also constructed to be used as the Swedish Navy's long-travel ship. During the Cold War, large minelayers like Carlskrona were very important in the Swedish defence strategy. From 1982 to 2005, Carlskrona made several long voyages as part of the training of naval officers and representation. Of these, four voyages were round-the-world voyages. Picture taken 1985.
