The last two submarines of the Sw Sjöormen type have now been taken out of service in the RSN, thus ending an almost 60-year saga of this innovative and novel submarine design. I believe Sjöormen was the first operational series built combat submarine with an Albacore hull, X-rudders and separate torpedo tubes for light 400 mm torpedoes. As a tribute to the submarine RSN published a video on youtube.
