Ship project history: Former Italian Sella class destroyers are bought by Sweden 27/3/1940. Already on April, 18th the ships leaved Naples, but movement was realised very slowly, and when Italy entered war they were still off Faeroe Islands. British have immediately captured destroyers and Swedes received the gained ships after two months of negociations.
Modernizations: early 1940s, both: - 2 x 1 - 40/39; + 2 x 1 - 40/56 M32
Naval service: No significant events.
