Most European countries imposed harsh physical distancing measures to save lives, and an economic downturn then ensued. As the countries of Europe and North America were cau- tiously trying to open up their economies in May 2020, there were questions about the short-term and long-term impact of the coro- navirus pandemic, the most important being whether the spread of the virus would intensify after the summer. With the number of Covid-19 cases rapidly increasing in September and October and with no vaccine available yet, governments in Europe began to impose stricter regulations to slow the spread of the virus.

  • Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden
    Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden ✣ Cecilia Ase˚ On the evening of 27 October 1981, a Soviet submarine, U-137, ran aground and was stranded on a rock in a restricted military area near a naval base in Karlskrona, in the southeastern part of Sweden. The boat was discovered the next morning by a local fisherman, who alerted the authorities. Until 6 November, when the submarine was restored to a Soviet fleet waiting beyond the limits of Sweden’s territorial waters, it remained an object of marked military attention and intense diplomatic negotiations. Media coverage of the incident was extensive and made headline news in Sweden and around the world. From Sweden’s perspective, the submarine was a security threat and a flagrant breach of the country’s territorial sovereignty. After the delayed dis- covery of the boat, the Swedish military acted resolutely. Heavily armed troops filled the islands surrounding the submarine, numerous military vessels took positions nearby, and marine helicopters and air force planes circled the area. However, as the diplomatic negotiations became protracted, the sense of shock and disbelief diminished, and concern over national prestige and reputation became all the more rampant. A sense of danger returned with renewed force on the afternoon of 5 November, when Prime Minister Thorbjorn¨ Falldin¨ announced with restrained emotion at a press conference that the submarine carried nuclear weapons.1 This declaration was sensational news and made the violation of Swedish territory appear all the more serious. In the decade following the U-137 episode, the Swedish military was involved in numerous other submarine searches, evicting what were ostensibly foreign submarines from Swedish waters and dropping sink bombs.

  • Swedish Naval Warfare Training System
    Swedish Naval Warfare Training System Overview CAE designed and delivered a comprehensive Naval Warfare Training System (NWTS) to the Swedish Navy at their Naval Warfare Centre in Karlskrona. The Swedish Navy wanted a flexible, cost-effective, low risk system that would deliver individual, crew, and whole ship training using synthetic environments to replace their existing system which had become obsolete. The NWTS provides a comprehensive, simulation-based system which includes simulation software, hardware, wargaming consoles, and instructor operator stations used to train and educate Swedish Navy sailors and officers in naval tactics, procedures and doctrine.

  • 1 John Ericsson and the Transformation of the Swedish Naval
    John Ericsson and the transformation of the Swedish naval doctrine Jan Glete Originally a lecture for "Symposium on John Ericsson and the Revolution in naval warfare 1850-1880, Swedish National Defence College Stockholm, 14 Nov 2003. Re-written as an article, "John Ericsson and the transformation of the Swedish naval doctrine", International Journal of Naval History, 2, no. 3, December 2003 (web-publication) During the nineteenth century the Swedish navy faced both the challenge of a fundamentally new strategic situation and that of the technological revolution in naval warfare. The end result was in fact a rather happy one as new technology offered interesting opportunities for a minor navy, which had to concentrate on defence against seaborne invasion. The transformation process was however long and difficult as the formulation of a new doctrine was hampered both by strong traditions and a profound uncertainty about the potential and direction of technological development.1 This article discusses the role of the Swedish-American inventor and consulting engineer John Ericsson (1803-1889) in the transformation of the strategic and tactical doctrines of the Swedish navy. He was an important person in that process. Ericsson did not offer any lasting solution to the problems that the navy faced but, during a period when Swedish naval policy- makers were at a loss about what to do with the technological revolution, he offered solutions which proved essential as stopgap measures. Furthermore, Ericsson prestige and popularity in Sweden also

  • From About Early Seventies Sweden Didn«T Saw Any Need For
    ASME-PAPER FOR NEW ORLEANS, USA REV DATE 15 December 2000 MANAGEMENT OF HIGH SPEED MACHINERY SIGNATURES TO MEET STEALTH REQUIREMENT IN THE ROYAL SWEDISH NAVY VISBY CLASS CORVETTE (YS 2000). Hans Liwång Lars Pejlert Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV Stockholm, Sweden Steve Miller Jan-Erik Gustavsson Cincinnati Gear Company 0. ABSTRACT Over the years, the word stealth has been used more and more when discussing design and operational characteristics in military applications. New and more challenging techniques are constantly being applied to minimize signatures and thus hinder or delay detection and identification. The Visby Class Corvette is a multipurpose combat ship with 600 tons displacement. The hull is a sandwich construction of a PVC core with carbon fiber/vinyl laminate. The propulsion system consists of two identical CODOG machinery systems, each driving a KaMeWa 125 size Water Jet Unit. The Ship has special requirements for all signatures, i.e. Radar-, Hydro acoustics-, IR- and Magnetic Signature. The High Speed Machinery is twin Honeywell TF50A Gas Turbines, cantilever mounted side by side on the Main Reduction Gearbox housing. The Main Reduction Gearbox is a dual input high performance marine Gearbox designated MA -107 SBS, designed and manufactured by Cincinnati Gear Co. The Low Speed Machinery is a MTU 16 V 2000 TE90 Diesel Engine connected to the MRG by a power take in shaft. Combustion Air for the Gas Turbines is ducted from the shipside Air Inlet Screen (radar screen) via 3- stage separating filters. The Exhausts from the twin Gas Turbines are combined into one Exhaust Pipe and ducted to the ship transom above the Water Jet stream.
