Here are a couple of pictures of the Swedish "Pansarbåt" "Sverige"
Picture of the launch of Sverige in 1915
Picture of Sverige on patrol during the World War 2
See also the informationpage on "Sverige"
I have started to collect info on other "Swedish Ships" as well.

Here is another interesting item: A copy of the message from aircraft cruiser
"Gotland" to Swedish Naval headquarters regarding the sighting of the Bismarck
off the Swedish coast in May 1941. I guess this sighting set off the hunt for Bismark.
