Halland class destroyer

A very interesting ship by the Swedish... never seen this before. Design is very unique. I like it.

 

The Halland class destroyers were two ships built for Swedish Navy in the 1950s. Four ships were planned, but the second pair were canceled. Two modified ships were exported to the Colombian Navy. These vessels were surface combatants general purpose.

 

These were general purpose ships with strong anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare armament. They were re-fitted in the 1960s and re-armed with Saab/Nord Aviation Robot 08 anti-shipping missiles. The Columbian ships had a more anti-surface focussed armament.
