Erik, can you somehow post your example instead of linking it? I cannot view since it refuses to open.

As far as I know, the Dutch destroyers, and cruisers for that matter, used a home-made FCS, made by H.S.A. These systems were known by M ## set of numbers (M-44), for instance to control Seacat on Leander class frigates, also exported to India, so the Colombian ships may also had fire control systems by H.S.A.

Great to see these fairly unkown ships. They are often misstaken of being the never built "Värmland-class". As said previous they are a modified version of the Halland-type in a class of their own and NOT the hulls of the Lappland and Värmland cancelled in 1958.
A little curious thing is that many swedish sailors found their wives in Columbia during the delivery of these ships.
I think the radar is correct - the Hallands' used it under the swedish designation PS-47. The PS-47 was replaced by the 9LVmk2 system (ArtE-726) on the Halland in 1979, Småland nerver got the ArtE-726.
