I can remember when I were a schoolboy back in the early 1960th the German 'Bundesmarine' had two Swedish fast patrol boats, fired by gas turbines, they were named 'HUGIN' & 'MUNIN'.
I've only just come across this. Those three jetpipes in the transom of the boat are the exhausts of three Bristol Siddleley Marine Proteus gas turbines, adapted from the turboprop engines that powered the 'Whispering Giant', the Bristol Britannia airliner. As a young designer, I worked on those engines after they had to adopt the name Rolls-Royce.
Very impressive type of small surface combat vessel, i cannot believe that this naval wonder is no longer in the active service anymore, i think this fighting lady can still served in any particular Navies in the world.

From the beginning even the firepump was a 60 bhp Rover gasturbine and the two generators was 90 bhp. These were later changed to two MTU turbines, If I remeber right they were about 250 bhp. Then one of the MTUs was replaced of a normal diesel engine.
That sounds far too low. The ships are powered by three gas turbines, with each providing around 4500 hp, for a total of around 13500 hp (around 10 MW). Edit: Ah, you were talking about just the generators. Well, I don't know about them.
Amazing patrol boats! Looks like people can take a trip on them? I wonder if tours are still available these days, that would be amazing to have a ride on one!
Only a sonar that is missing, but the noise it makes would be an issue maybe. 🤣 The corvettes that were built after these came with built in sonar and can use towed sonar. I think the Göteborg class is still in use with two remaining ships right? But the latest is Visby stealth corvettes of course. Still love these old torpedo and robot boats though.
@@benoitnadeau5845 yeah the stockholm and Gothenburg class corvettes that came later were quieter since they didn't have this type of propulsion. The latest stealth corvette class Visby uses water jet.

Looks like great coastal patrol boats, but obviously not blue water boats. Still impressive boats that is ideal for the Swedish situation. Fast and slick.
If you've seen the Swedish coast lines, in particular the Skärgård, which for example Stockholm is situated in, you'll soon see they aren't great for coastal protection - they are perfect.
Yeah I think they were made primarily to quickly head out from hiding in the large Stockholm archipelago at full speed to launch their anti ship missiles against Russian transport ships or cruisers, destroyers and frigates in the case of a Russian invasion and then head back to a rearm and refueling point. The Bofors cannon was primarily for defense against enemy anti ship missiles and attack fighter jets. Lacked protection against enemy subs though because the turbine noise would've made it difficult to use a sonar even a towed sonar unless they were stationary just sitting there in the water.
@@praeparatus_supervivetAn attack with with these missile boats on a Russian invasion fleet was considered a one way mission. The Air Force would have had a slightly greater chance of a second attack.
I have always thought these boats looked lovely since I first saw them in the Janes Fighting Ships my secondary school had in the library. Same power plant as the RN Brave class, but much bigger and 15 knots less fast. But to me these look better. If I had all the money in the world... well these aren't for sale and there are a couple of Danish Brave siblings sitting at a dock needing help.
they have very capable naval industry although this missile boat is lacking the active / passive protection systems , but the high speed and maneuverability are the key elements to conduct its task or duties and survive any counter attack , could possibly to be equipped with VLS to give the missile boat the ability to engage targets on 360 degree ...
According to the crew, they would have produced much less smoke if they had been running on jet fuel, but since diesel fuel is much cheaper and works just as well, they use that instead.
Very cool to watched. What kind ofed engine do thosed boats use? Pretty neat to watched the fire belched out ofed the backed end!! Ifed I did see that coming up to behind be I would geted very nervous. All so what missiles does it shoot?
You need to grow a pair of balls to stand up first, what's 25 boats going to do with balless politicians running around talking rubbish in your dumb country?
@@davedaihatsu2585 It certainly is not a dumb country, far from it. Not directly raising the battle flags is called diplomacy, an implied threat may work just as good as rattling sabres. Obviously your diplomacy has left the premises.
Just a thought... I wonder how many of these small ships the U.S. Navy could have bought or builr, instead of spending so much on a second 'Zumwalt'-class destroyer.
These ships were not active anymore in the Swedish Navy at the time, but US could have opted to buy the Swedish Visby class stealth corvettes instead as their littoral or coastal water operations platform. Although if I remember correctly the new Visby corvettes we have today never got the anti air missile system that was planned, but I am sure if US had bought them they would have asked for that to be installed and some other minor modifications suitable for their needs.
@@praeparatus_supervivet They are still build with everything needed for AA, all that is missing on the Swedish visby class corvettes are the actual missiles. And they are now in the process of buying them.
but no one can judge it until war comes. The CB 90 had a number of issues. The US Mark VI might be a better boat because it has better sea keeping characteristics.
Back in the winter of 73/74 HMS Norrköping did 54 knots surfing the waves in force 11-12 winds between the island of Gotland and the main land. When I joined the PTK (sea trial command) back in 1973 and had my first sea duty on HMS Nynäshamn we had force 9 winds and that was not an issue at all for the ship, though a different story for many of the guests onboard. Though the wave height doesn’t get as high in the Baltic Sea as i.e. on the North Sea, they are high enough to sink even large ships. During the sea trials we tested the ships at 46 knots, official number was 40, and we run them from full speed ahead to full stop in a boat length (46 meter), which we could achieve thanks to the KAMEWA drives on the three propellers; you really needed to hold on tight during this maneouver. So yes, they could handle ruff weather as long as you didn’t stop. At a trial with HMS Virgo, all three gas turbines went out when we were idling in the sea and the waves hit the ship aft, and water flushed into the gas turbines. The tension got a little bit high for a moment, as we were drifting towards cliffs, but in the last minute the machine guys managed to get the turbines going, so we could avoid being stranded on the cliffs.

Reasonable for the Baltic conditions - the V hulls cuts through waves quite well from what I understand. Though one account I've read stated after a certain wave height, they started to go through, rather than over waves.

Well they smoke more in the video since it's a civilian company owning it, and they are running it on diesel instead of jet fuel. Both works but Jet fuel provides alot less smoke.

One German or six yanks or thirty Chinese! No Russians would participate. They said their torpedo boats could tow over a hundred skiers from anywhere.!
Google T121 Spica or R142 Ystad. They both have home pages where you can buy tickets for their public sightseeing tours. A sightseeing tour of a few hours might cost slightly less than 2000 SEK. It could be considered slightly expensive, but it is a great experience and usually includes at least one meal and a tour of the base.

Take a guess. The maximum power output is around 10 MW. A liter (slightly more than a quarter of a US gallon) of diesel fuel contains around 35 MJ. The efficiency is probably around 30%, so the fuel consumption should be around one liter per second, which is also what the crew told me it consumes at its top speed.
Yes, that's what the crew told me when I went on one of their archipelago trips. They use diesel fuel because it's less expensive than jet fuel, but the downside is that it produces more smoke.
I amed sure they did haved jammers and flares launchers and metallic strips shooters too for evasion ofed incoming missiles. Probly all so did they haved some type ofed CIWS ond them too. These are olders torpedo attacked boats maked ined the 1960s CIWS = Close Ined Weapons Systems
They where supposed to sneak up on the enemy from behind the islands in the archipelagos of Sweden perform hit and run attack at dawn and night and disappear, so smoke was no problem.
According to the crew, it's because they run on diesel fuel. If they had used jet fuel, there would be much less smoke. But jet fuel is much more expensive than diesel fuel. Also, it's mostly at low power settings that they produce that much smoke. After increasing the speed, the burn seems to become cleaner.
This needs the Dutch Navy, Building or Buying 10 ships of these Fast heavly armed boats instead 4 ships of the Hollland Class(expensive very slow and no good defense sitting ducks)
These boats are no good today unless you seriously upgrade them. They are extremely old and are only used for passenger rides. The Swedish Visby class corvette is a better choice.
