True, some are active, so that they can be deployed in a very short time.

I do have to give my appreciation to this Mapuc. If you want to showcase a great Swedish boat then this would be one of them. Quietest in the world they say.

The Swedes have always had a great naval tradition. Don't let my jabs or anyone elses discourage the faith you have in your impressive hardware.

And invisible to the radar.

I'm not being discourage by any, however Jimbuna was right, when he wrote
"Then please try to understand when I say 'respectfully' "I am not convinced".
A navalship or a whole fleet can look very impressive or fearful.
But they are nothing more than that, until proven in a fullscale sea/air combat situation.

Back to iran:
I do believe that the iranian have the same attitude.

Your link doesn't work "Svenskspråkiga Wikipedia har inte någon artikel om "HMS Norrköping (T131/R131" ännu."

Edit: Reason is that you didn't include ")" to link.

I googled the word Robotbåt
I then choosed "HMS Norrköping"

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Nor...ing_(T131/R131

Here are what it says:

Mellan 1995 och 1999 genomfördes en livstidsförlängning av sex av robotbåtarna som bland annat omfattade uppgradering och ombyggnad av SLC (stridsledningscentralen). Efter denna ombyggnad döpte man om klassen till robotbåt Ystadsklass efter det sist producerade fartyget i Norrköpingsklassen.
Gradvis började man fasa ut de sista sex robotbåtarna i början på 2000-talet. Efter försvarsbeslutet 2004 så bestämdes det att även de två sista robotbåtarna (Norrköping och Ystad) skulle tas ur organisationen. HMS Norrköping avvecklades 1 september 2005. För HMS Norrköping finns det planer på att fartyget skall ligga i Norrköping som museifartyg under initiativ av föreningen flottans män.

I'm sorry I can't find the english version.

But you probably need to upgrade your Swedish dictionary a part ... I guess but otherwise it was good.

I have very little use for swedish language so its very easy to forget. Its much easier to read than write yourself and personally I have forgot most of grammar. In school my average grade in swedish (4-10) was 5-.

Who is "they?" Gotland is quiet yes. Quietest? Not sure I'd go that far.
