Dec. 18 (UPI) A 1990s-era Swedish submarine was relaunched after a 12-month mid-life upgrade, defense contractor Saab announced Friday.
The HMS Uppland, the second in the Gotland class of three submarines, had 50 new systems installed or modified, including installation of an Optronic Mast to replace a periscope.

Some of the new systems will be used on the planned Blekinge class of vessels, next-generation submarines to replace the Gotland class, the contractor said in a statement.
Saab has conducted a Mid-life upgrade of HMS
Uppland. Taking all necessary measures to ensure the submarine’s operational availability, the upgrade includes new sensors and navigation systems, giving the vessel enhanced capabilities. The delivery of HMS
Uppland was conducted today at a ceremony in Karlskrona, Sweden.
HMS
Uppland is the second submarine in the Gotland-class to have gone through major changes and is now operational again.
“The Gotland-class submarines have an international reputation that many other submarines would wish for, with a stealthy ability and endurance beyond the ordinary. Sweden’s ability to develop world-class submarines is a result of the close cooperation between industry, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and the Swedish Royal Navy. We at Saab are proud that the latest cutting-edge underwater technology is now operational on-board both HMS Uppland and HMS Gotland.”
Taiwan on best defense track: expert
By Aaron Tu and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer
Asymmetrical warfare and groups of warships, together with land-based missiles on trucks, still constitute Taiwan’s best national defense strategy, a security analyst said yesterday.
Su Tzu-yun (蘇紫雲), an associate research fellow at the government-funded Institute for National Defense and Security Research, made the comments following Monday’s launch ceremony for a second Tuo Jiang-class corvette.
The navy is expected to receive delivery of the new corvette in 2025, following sea trials, with two more corvettes expected to follow.
The Coast Guard Administration’s (CGA) requisition of 12 Anping-class corvettes similar to the Tuo Jiang, but with added facilities and equipment for rescue operations are expected to be delivered by 2026, along with a prototype from the indigenous submarine program.
