WoWs Destroyer Ragnar

Overview

The main tactical unit of the Swedish fleet was to be a squadron of several destroyers. Tre Kronor-class cruisers acted as squadron leaders, but in the 1940s, the construction of a special squadron leader was considered. On March 21, 1947, three draft designs were presented, with a standard displacement of 2,400, 3,000, and 4,660 tons. The largest of the three projects was lightly armored and armed with two twin-gun mounts housing 152 mm dual-purpose guns.
