Swedish minelayer ship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HSwMS Furusund is a ship of the Swedish Navy, delivered in 1986 as a prototype replacement for the Type 12 minelaying ship. Her home port is Berga, and she was built at Åsieverken in Åmål. The primary assignments for the ship and its crew include diving, salvage operations, and underwater work. In 2024, two new ships were ordered from Astilleros Armon Vigo SA to replace HSwMS Furusund and HSwMS Pelikanen, with deliveries expected between 2026 and 2027.[1][2][3][4]
