The Hugin class of destroyers consisted of Hugin and Munin built for the Royal Swedish Navy built prior to the First World War and surviving without major incident through their lifespan.

The Hugin-class ships were the first Swedish warships built with steam turbines. ^[1]

Hugin was built by Götaverken and launched on December 10, 1910 while Munin was constructed by Kockums and launched December 5, 1911. The ship class was built with steam turbines instead of piston engines as the previous Swedish destroyers had been. Hugin was in service until June 13, 1947 while Munin had been decommissioned on October 18, 1940.
