Wrangel-class destroyer

The Wrangel class was a class of two destroyers built for the Royal Swedish Navy during World War I. The class consisted of HSWMS Wrangel (25) and HSWMS Wachtmeister (10).

Overview
The Wrangel-class destroyers completed a line of Swedish 30 kn destroyers, originating from HSWMS Wale. Unlike the destroyers of the previous series, they received a forecastle which notably improved seaworthiness along with being equipped with the first steam turbines in the Swedish Navy.

It was planned to build a series of four ships, but the order for the second pair of obsolete destroyers was refused.
