I found some photos taken by me of the submarine rescue ship HMS Belos A214 while she was in Stockholm a couple of years ago that I wanted to share with you all

Thanks Alvama, I have some more photos of a Russian submarine rescue ship aswell and a Norwegian
HMS Belos started her days as a tender for oil plattforms and was bought by the Swedish navy to become the new submarine rescue ship since she had a very extensive setup for diving operations already installed at the purchase
The ship carries URF, the worlds largest rescue submarine and also adaptors to make it possible for URF to dock to any submarine in use today. I also believe that after the Kursk disaster Sweden signed an agreement to let HMS Belos assist other countries aswell incase of a submarine accident
