We haven't any of our HK4 left in our ASW-hunting group.(some of them are at museum)
They are or was our best weapon against submarines who are violating our borders.

Nope, not a single one. I get the feeling that the big boys in SOG and the military high command together with the politicians figured we needed those cool looking Blackhawks so our Spec Ops guys and girls(?) could kick ass in style. They completely forgot that we have a massive coastline and that sometimes, neighbours and other interested parties come sniffing.
Not a single helicopter configured for ASW duty. I think that is hilarious considering our history.
Also, the Visby class is very competent in this regard. But the a chopper mobility is invaluable in a scenario such as this even if both passive and active sonar must be a real b**** in these waters.
