That is a very imposing and impressive cruiser. She certainly looks seaworthy enough for northern waters. Reminds me of a mini-Kent but with a bit more style.

Very interesting design I have to say and excellent timing too given I've lately been looking at Swedish cruisers for inspiration for my own works.

Nice to see this thread is still active. The Stockholm looks perfect, very sleek and great lines.

I made a small pause in drawing and started to plan my submarine fleet. Here is the current plan for Uboat classes for the RSwN aswell as the irl counterparts/ main inspiration.

Certainly looks interesting.
Btw, I saw on your site that the Karl XIV Johan-class remained in service until 1996, recieving modernations in 1980. Will we see those? :)

Hopefully, yes, I havn't decided which yet, but imagine an USS Iowa style upgrade.
- All secondaries replace by 57mm m/71 singels.
- Sensor suite like the Matterheims
- Fitted for TLAM ABL
- Aft helo pad
