  • Foreign Submarine
    Foreign submarine A serious political conflict between Sweden and the Soviet Union, in which a Lund physicist played an active role. Foreign submarine 426 427 Foreign submarine in Swedish archipelago On the evening of 28 October 1981 the front pages of the newspapers were filled with a surprising piece of news. A Soviet submarine on a secret mission had run aground on a rock in Blekinge archipelago. It was well inside a restricted military area and not far from Karlskrona naval base. Heightened state of alert Swedish military units from the navy and coastal rangers, among others, were assembled in the area over the following days. A large area was cordoned off. Helicopters and fighter aircraft patrolled the airspace and Swedish submarines were stationed underwater along the limit of territorial waters. The naval ship Thule was stationed as a barrier in the strait out towards open water. Foreign submarine 428 429 In all probability armed In an extra edition of the television news pro- gramme Aktuellt, a week after the grounding, Prime Minister Torbjörn Fälldin revealed that the submarine: ”… in all probability …” was armed with nuclear weapons. Political activity in Sweden and internationally was great. This was world news! Dagens Nyheter, 6 November 1981. The day after the Prime Minister’s revelation that there were nuclear weapons on board the submarine U137. On a secret mission In order to investigate whether the submarine was armed with nuclear weapons, measurements of the ionising radiation needed to be carried out. Reader Ragnar Hellborg from the Department of Physics in Lund was one of those who performed the measure- ments on behalf of the Swedish Defence Research Agency: It was around dinnertime on All Hallows’ Eve when the phone rang.

  • A Bell Tower on Swedish Locals by Christer Brunström, AIJP
    Cinderella Time: A Bell Tower on Swedish Locals By Christer Brunström, AIJP In the 1920s and mid 1940s Sweden had a large num- ber of privately operated local posts that operated in com- petition with the Swedish Post Office. These local services delivered mail on a local basis at rates much lower than those charged by the state-run postal service. Many of these private posts issued stamps having very local designs. During my travels in Sweden I try to seek out the buildings and artworks depicted on the stamps in order to find out what they look like today. In the summer of 2014 my travels took me to the city of Karlskrona, the capital of the province of Bleking in the south-eastern corner of Swe- den. It was from the ports of this province that many thou- sands of Swedish emigrants left for a better life in North America in the late 1800s. Today Karlskrona is a city of some 35,000 people. It has been declared a World Heri- tage site by the UNESCO. The city was founded by King Karl XI in 1680. It is built on a number of islands in the Blekinge archipelago and it was the ideal spot to build a Swedish naval base to defend and expand Swedish domi- nation of the Baltic Sea area. The architect of the new city was Erik Dahlberg. He not only designed the city but also the fortresses and the shipyards. The naval shipyard was developed by Fredrik af Chapman. In the late 18th century, Karlskrona was Sweden’s third largest city after Stockholm and Riga (yes, Latvia was part of the Swedish Baltic empire at the time).

  • Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980S by Bengt Gustafsson
    Parallel History Project on Cooperative Security (PHP) January 2011 E-Dossier, Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980s www.php.isn.ethz.ch By Bengt Gustafsson Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980s By Bengt Gustafsson The Truth is in the Eye of the Beholder Conspiracy theories, alternative explanations, and urban legends frequently play important roles in shaping public perceptions of high-profile events in history. Such alternative views are sometimes based on ideological preconceptions, the failure to appreciate the complexity of issues, or specific preconceptions about individuals, occupations, or institutions. In Sweden, the reception of what is known as ‘the submarine issue’ is a prominent example of such dynamics. The Swedish armed forces assert that from the middle of the 1970s until autumn 1992, foreign submarines repeatedly conducted intrusions far into Swedish territorial waters, including in the direction of the country’s naval bases. There was only one occasion on which the nation responsible for the incursion was successfully identified – when a Soviet Whiskey class submarine was discovered to have run aground in a bay just east of Karlskrona Naval Base in southern Sweden and was found on the morning of 28 October 1981. Journalists covered the event under headlines such as ‘Whiskey on the Rocks’. In Sweden, this event is known as the ‘U-137-incidenten’ *‘U-137 Incident’+ after the temporary designation given to submarine S-363 by the Soviet Union for the operation. In September of the previous year, the last Swedish destroyer in service, HMS Halland, had been deployed against a pair of submarines that were discovered in the outer Stockholm archipelago.

  • More Maritime Safety for the Baltic Sea
    More Maritime Safety for the Baltic Sea WWF Baltic Team 2003 Anita Mäkinen Jochen Lamp Åsa Andersson “WWF´s demand: More Maritime Safety for the Baltic Sea – Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) status with additional proctective measures needed Summary The scenario of a severe oil accident in the Baltic Sea is omnipresent. In case of a serious oiltanker accident all coasts of the Baltic Sea would be threatened, economic activities possibly spoiled for years and its precious nature even irreversibly damaged. The Baltic Sea is a unique and extremely sensitive ecosystem. Large number of islands, routes that are difficult to navigate, slow water exchange and long annual periods of icecover render this sea especially sensitive. At the same time the Baltic Sea has some of the most dense maritime traffic in the world. During the recent decades the traffic in the Baltic area has not only increased, but the nature of the traffic has also changed rapidly. One important change is the the increase of oil transportation due to new oil terminals in Russia. But not only the number of tankers has increased but also their size has grown. The risk of an oil accident in the Gulf of Finland will increase fourfold with the increase in oil transport in the Gulf of Finland from the 22 million tons annually in 1995 to 90 million tons in 2005. At the same time, the cruises between Helsinki and Tallinn have increased tremendously, and this route is crossing the main routes of vessels transporting hazardous substances. WWF and its Baltic partners see that the whole Baltic Sea needs the official status of a “Particularly Sensitive Sea Area” (PSSA) to tackle the environmental effects and threats associated with increasing maritime traffic, especially oil shipping, in the area.
