Romulus-class destroyer

The Romulus class was a class of two destroyers operated by the Royal Swedish Navy during the Second World War. The class consisted of HSWMS Romulus (27) and HSWMS Remus (28). They were built in Italy as the Spica-class torpedo boats Spica and Astore in the mid-1930's and sold to Sweden in 1940. The two ships were adapted for northern conditions and remained in service during World War II and into the first decades of the Cold War. They were modernized and re-designated as anti-submarine frigates in 1953. Both ships were discarded in 1958.
