Except it has to have the lattest code books and comms gear otherwise once it left port it would not be able to recive orders covertly. Getting those is worth while. Even examining a smashed radio system could be worth while, they figure out how Russian technolgy worked in 1950 they can see how it fits in with the equipment built latter on and make a guess on how it works in the lattest boats. Of course examining the CREW would be the real prize, until the fall of Comunisim the west knew very little about the real lives of Soviet Citizens.

Of course a western nation is going to find nuke on board any stranded submarine, even though whiskeys couldnt fire the 25inch nuclear torpedos and didnt carry missiles unless its the long bin version.
The government of sweden was under pressure in them days and as i believe the prime minister had to be seen doing something about the incursions what better way than to annoucne it has nukes on board and look i managed to get rid of it!



Code books would probably have been destroyed on the grounding, the machinary taken apart, so no real value, the swedes didnt really bord the submarine so didnt get a look inside just the out side, you can bet they would have sealed themselves in should the swedes have tried to bord the submarine.
Forceful entry could also be seen as an act of war a small country like that you dont need the northern and baltic fleets on your door.
You were expected to die protecting your country so if they had of sealed themselves in the only way to get them out artillery! again your shelling someone elses property so again could be seen as an act of war.

If it carrier nuclear torpedos well karlskrone wouldnt be here they probably would have ejected one and let it go bang incinerating them aswell.

Just some wacky theories for you there but i couldnt see that it had thee most up to date equipment onboard anyway if it was a stunt chances are it would have been taken off.
