Twin 120 mm mounts, a dense anti-aircraft battery, torpedoes and mines gave Öland a heavier weapons load in a much larger hull.

Concentrated gunfire, restricted coastal approaches, and four major upgrade cycles keep the large destroyers difficult to attack into the 1970s.
From Protecting Ikea in the Cradle; Swedish Destroyers in WWII ·
A 1972 decision to emphasize fast attack craft ends the large-destroyer path, but the wartime fleet's access-denial lesson remains.
