Swedish Armed Forces are currently engaged in a comprehensive process of transformation with an overall objective of achieving a force structure that would considerably be reduced in size but which would be sophisticated, versatile, geared for a wide range of operations and adapted to meet a wide range of different threats.

'I am just a humble naval officer serving on the best ships available'
Article Abstract:
Commander Hakan Nilsson comments on the features of the Swedish Navy's Visby Class stealth corvettes that are designed to combat the threat situation in the Baltic area. The Visby has a balanced stealth level and more significantly, it has achieved a low enough level in all signature areas so that it is very difficult to detect a Visby corvette.
