HSwMS Neptun (1980)

HSwMS Neptun is the second of three Näcken-class submarines, built to operate in the Baltic. Neptun entered service in December 1980. The next year she was involved an international incident when the Soviet submarine U 137 ran aground outside Karlskrona.

The Näcken-class were among the first Swedish submarines to have onboard computers. Her task in the eventuality of war would have been to attack enemy shipping and surveillance duties.

Neptun was decommissioned in 1998 and laid up in Karlskona. In 2008 she was donated to the  Naval Museum Marinmuseum of Karlskrona, Sweden. After restoration it is planned to put her on display in June 2014.
