The Sverige class coastal defence ships were, at the time of introduction, the largest ships to serve in the Swedish Navy. Their design was completely new and was influenced by the ships of the time. Their armament consisted of four 28.3 cm Bofors guns in two turrets and eight 15.2 cm guns in one double and six single turrets. During the Second World War they were the backbone of the Swedish Navy. ==Specification as built== ;Displacement: * HMS ''Sverige'' * *6,852 tons standard; * *7,516 tons full load, * *7,080 tons - Jane's Fighting Ships 1938 * * *HMS ''Sverige'' reconstructed 1932-1933 *HMS ''Drottning Victoria'' and HMS ''Gustav V'': * *7,125 tons standard * *7,633 tons full load * *7,120 tons - HMS ''Drottning Victoria'' - Jane's Fighting Ships 1938 * *7,275 tons - HMS ''Gustav V'' - Jane's Fighting Ships 1938 * * *HMS ''Gustav V'' reconstructed 1929-1930, modernized 1937 * * *HMS ''Drottning Victoria'' reconstructed 1935 ;Dimensions: *Length: 392.8 ft (119.7 m) - HMS ''Sverige'' *Length: 396.6 ft (120.9 m) - HMS ''Drottning Victoria'' and HMS ''Gustav V'' *Beam: 18.6 m (61 ft) *Draught: 6.7 m (22.0 ft) ;Armour *Belt: 200/150–60 mm (7.9/5.9-2.4 in) *Turret: 8 in.

Gustav V had funnels trunked into one and the upper works modified heavily. Sverige had the fore funnel trunked back away from the superstructure which was modified, and kept the second funnel, making the ships very different in appearance between the main turrets. "Gustav-V" also har her forward superfiring 2x152mm tower removed, and replaced with a platform for gyro stabilized AA-artillery ( 4 x 40mm bofors) while "Sverige" and "Drottning Victoria" had their midship single 1x152mm towers removed and replaced with gyro stabilized AA-platforms (Bofors 40mm double mountings) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sverige-class coastal defence ship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
