Isnt the fleet still called the Royal Fleet (Kungliga flottan)? -- Dahlis 21:40, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
The name in Swedish is "Kunliga Flottan". The so called "official translations" are the work of one civil servant in the headquarters with poor knowledge about the Royal Swedish Navy and translations! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.169.141.54 ( talk) 09:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Rubbish. "Kungliga flottan" (the Royal Navy in Swedish) is w ay to distinguish it from Handelsflottan (The Merchant Marine i Swedish). Captellies on uniforms say "Kungliga flottan". Ships are labelled HMS etc. The problem is that in the armed forces army officers without knowledge dabble with issues they do not understand nor have the education to grasp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.204.97.59 ( talk) 18:54, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Why in the world are the Swedish ships on wikipedia prefixed with HMS? As far as I know that prefix is reserved for Royal Navy vessels. Shouldn't the correct term be HSMS? Manxruler 20:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
"HMS" is obviosuly used in Swedish. Translated to English "HSwMs" is used! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.169.141.54 ( talk) 09:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Still people seems to have problems with this. HMS is used in English as well - only the American and British navies use the "HSwMS" prefix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.237.233.202 ( talk) 15:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
The Manxman and Britishwatcher are obviously correct on this issue. "HSwMS" is used in correct English during international operations. Tomas is wrong both wrt to the Royal Swedish Navy and the correct use of prefix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.204.97.59 ( talk) 18:57, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Swedish Navy → Royal Swedish Navy – The official name of the service is "Royal Swedish Navy", and is translated as such on the Swedish Armed Forces' offical site: [1]. It also appears to be a clear WP:COMMONNAME, as a gBooks search for "Royal Swedish Navy" less wikipedia etc. turns up 51,400 hits, while "Swedish Navy" adding -Royal gets 16,600 hits.

I created the article Structure of the Swedish Armed Forces in 1989, which contains a complete overview of the Swedish Armed Forces in 1989. The information comes from Arméhandboks of the army, from the Swedish wiki, and from government defense bills. As far as I can tell army and air force are complete and 100% correct. As for the navy: all in 1989 commissioned ships are listed, but some flotillas and divisions are missing. The coastal artillery is nearly complete, although there are some of the Spärrbataljon and Rörliga Spärrbataljon missing. Also missing for all three services are some of the schools. The Home Guard is missing as I could not find info on the ~85 battalions the Home Guard would field. Also missing are the designations/numbers/locations of the independent artillery, engineer, signal, air defense, etc. battalions that would be activated in war (except for the 3x Bandkanon 1 battalions of Milo ÖN). Even though these parts are missing, this is the most comprehensive/detailed/full listing of Swedish forces in 1989 ever.
However: if you have some more information, especially about the above mentioned stuff that is missing, please feel free to add this information to the article, or leave a message with the info on my talk page. Thank you, noclador ( talk) 17:39, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
The Swedish Navy (Marinen) is divided into two parts the fleet (Flottan) and the Amphibious Corps (Amfibiekåren). This is evident from the Swedish wikipage. However, on the English Wiki-page it is assumed that Swedish Navy (Marinen) is the organizational unit for the surface and submarine naval units. Those are organized into the fleet (Flottan).
To give a correct reflexion of the organizational structure there should be three pages;
This would give a more accurate picture of the Swedish navy. Mkallgren ( talk) 12:55, 26 Juni 2018 (CET)
Should be mentioned smuggling is an issue as Sweden had a 50% tariff/import tax creating need for Naval interdiction. Sweden had purchased submarines for this purpose as well. TaylorLeem ( talk) 01:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
