Rating S+ (Top of the class within its tier and class · overall score 91) · Gunboat destroyer
Gunboat destroyer, suited to fire pressure, DD hunting. It is especially strong against destroyers and cruisers (AP deals a same-tier destroyer's HP in about 79 s on paper · destroyer-calibre AP rarely overpens destroyers). A glass cannon: huge firepower, but low HP means it melts under focus fire. Its AP main battery DPM of 30,480 is 76% above the same-tier destroyer average. High HE fire potential (2.2 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Detectability of 5.88 km is 0.1 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands.

A further development of the "standard" destroyers of the Swedish Navy. The ship was faster than her predecessors, had a different main-gun-mount arrangement, and carried reinforced anti-aircraft armament.
