HSwMS Loke (1869)
HSwMS ''Loke'' was the fourth, and last, ship of the s built for the Royal Swedish Navy in the late-1860s. Completed in 1871 she only made seven short cruises before she was permanently placed in reserve in late 1880. Funds were requested to reconstruct her in line with the other monitors, but were denied. She was listed for sale in 1908, but nothing is known of her fate.
==Design and description==
The ''John Ericsson''-class ironclads were designed to meet the need of the Swedish and Norwegian Navies for small, shallow-draft armored ships capable of defending their coastal waters. The standoff between and the much larger during the Battle of Hampton Roads in early 1862 roused much interest in Sweden in this new type of warship as it seemed ideal for coastal defense duties. John Ericsson, designer and builder of the ''Monitor'', had been born in Sweden, although he had become an American citizen in 1848, and offered to share his design with the Swedes. In response they sent Lieutenant John Christian d'Ailly to the United States to study monitor design and construction under Ericsson. D'Ailly arrived in July 1862 and toured rolling mills, gun foundries, and visited several different ironclads under construction. He returned to Sweden in 1863 having completed the drawings of a ''Monitor''-type ship under Ericsson's supervision.〔Harris 1994, pp. 22–24〕
''Loke'', the last-built ship in the class, was somewhat larger than her half-sisters. She was long overall, with a maximum beam of . The ship drew and displaced fully loaded.〔Harris 1994, p. 26〕〔Bjoerud, p. 169〕 The ship was divided into nine main compartments by eight watertight bulkheads. Over time a flying bridge and, later, a full superstructure, was added to each ship between the gun turret and the funnel.〔 Initially their crew numbered 80 officers and men, but this increased to 104 as the ships were modified with additional weapons.〔Harris 1994, p. 26〕
