Project history
Type A 17 attack submarines. Replacements for Draken class. Designed by Kockums, Malmo, and ordered in 1981, with Kockums building the mid-section of the hulls and Karlskronavarvet building the bows and sterns. All TT are bow-mounted, with the six 533mm tubes above the three 400mm tubes. Can carry up to 22 mines in externally-mounted containers. Plans to equip these boats with four SSM vertical launch rubes in the sail have been abandoned. Anechoic hull coating.
