HMS Småland (J19) is a Swedish Halland-class destroyer. She and HMS Halland were the only ones built of their class. Two more ships were ordered but they were never completed.

She was decommissioned in 1979, and since 1987 has been a museum ship in the Gothenburg maritime center where she is the largest vessel on display.

The Hajen class (Shark class) was a submarine class built by Kockums and used by the Swedish navy. The design was influenced by the German Type XXI submarine class. A total of 6 submarines were built in 1954-1958 and were kept in service until 1980.[1][2]

The first Hajen class submarine to be built was HMS Hajen in 1954, followed by HMS Sälen, HMS Valen (1955), HMS Bävern (1958), HMS Illern (1957) and HMS Uttern (1958).

The Draken class was a submarine class built for the Swedish navy 1960-1962. A total of five submarines was delivered and kept in service until the late 1980s when the more modern Näcken class submarine replaced them. Four of the boats were modernised in 1981-82. The design was a modified version of the Hajen class with only one shaft with a larger 5 bladed propeller for improved underwater performance and reduced noise.

One submarine (HMS Nordkaparen) was preserved and can today been seen at the Göteborgs Maritima Center in Gothenburg

The T-38 was a torpedo boat.
