Europe Destroyer
Concurrently with the construction of the Visby-class destroyers, Swedish shipbuilders planned to build larger ships capable of competing on equal terms with foreign large destroyers. The main technical novelty was to be the main battery artillery—it was planned to be dual-purpose and housed in turret mounts. One option was a project with a standard displacement of 1,800 tons. There were plans to build four large destroyers. The design process continued and later culminated in the appearance of the Öland-class destroyers.
