HSwMS Nordkaparen, Naval museum submarine in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Draken-class submarine measures 69.3 meters in length, features four torpedo tubes, and incorporates a diesel-electric propulsion system with two Pielstick engines.
Launched in March 1961 at Saab Kockums in Malmö, the submarine served in the Swedish Navy until 1988 before becoming a permanent exhibit at Maritiman.
The vessel received its name from the North Atlantic right whale, following the Swedish Navy tradition of naming submarines after marine creatures.
Visitors at Maritiman can explore the submarine interior, examining the torpedo systems, control room, and crew quarters while learning about Cold War naval operations.
During a speed test in 1980, the submarine narrowly avoided collision with a foreign vessel, surfacing just as the other craft passed directly beneath.
