Royal Swedish Navy

The Royal Swedish Navy or Kungl. Flottan is the navy of Sweden. On June 7, 1522, merely a year after the separation of Sweden from the Kalmar Union, Gustav Vasa purchased a number of ships from the hanseatic town of Lübeck which is seen as the birth of the navy. Vasa was a 17th century ship of the navy.

Visby is a Swedish class of corvettes with stealth[?] capablities.
