The Stockholm-class corvettes are a pair of corvettes in the Swedish Navy. Built in Karlskrona 1984–1985, they are armed with eight RBS15 anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, one 57mm cannon and several machine guns. In 1999/2000 the two units in the class were upgraded in the Karlskrona shipyard Kockums.
