World of Warships' Swedish cruisers and real industrial capacity

Improved Tre Kronor-derived cruisers are considered industrially plausible because Sweden had an adaptable shipbuilding base; the specific designs are discussed as game scenarios.

Question

Could Sweden really have built the large cruisers proposed in World of Warships?

Short answer

Improved Tre Kronor-derived cruisers are considered industrially plausible because Sweden had an adaptable shipbuilding base; the specific designs are discussed as game scenarios.

Notes

World of Warships provides the prompt for a question about Sweden's real industrial capacity. The country had a capable engineering and shipbuilding sector, plus infrastructure that could be adapted or expanded for larger cruisers. Improved Tre Kronor-class developments are therefore plausible in broad terms. That assessment concerns industrial capacity and does not establish that the particular game designs were historical projects.
