Styrsö-class mine countermeasures vessel
Ship class
The Styrsö class is a series of mine countermeasures vessels in service with the Swedish Navy built from glass fibre. Among its intended missions are naval mine detection, mine hunting and patrolling. The ships are named after islands from four different archipelagos of Sweden. In 2004 HSwMS Spårö and HSwMS Sturkö were modernised, pulling out some of their capability for traditional mine clearance in favour of extended human dive support, the modified vessels are occasionally called Spårö class.
