HSwMS Spica, Museum ship at Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
The naval vessel stretches 43.4 meters in length and features three Bristol Proteus gas turbines that generated speeds exceeding 40 knots during operations.
Constructed by Götaverken AB in 1966, this torpedo boat served in the Swedish Navy until 1989 before transforming into an educational maritime exhibition.
The torpedo boat exemplifies Swedish naval engineering from the 1960s through its advanced weaponry system, including Bofors guns and wire-guided torpedoes.
Visitors can explore multiple decks of the vessel at the Vasa Museum, examining the quarters where 30 crew members carried out their daily duties.
The ship maintained Sweden's maritime defense capabilities with six 533-millimeter torpedoes and reached operational speeds that surpassed most naval vessels of its time.
