Question

What fleet should the Czech Republic build if it somehow acquires Kaliningrad and a Baltic coastline?

Short answer

The proposed fleet combines Swedish-style SSKs, Visby-like inshore combatants, Type 31-style offshore presence ships, and auxiliaries for range and allied support.

Notes

A Czech acquisition of Kaliningrad creates a hypothetical requirement for a Baltic navy. Swedish conventional submarines and Visby-style vessels are proposed for local operations. Type 31-style offshore ships would provide a presence farther afield. Fleet auxiliaries would extend the force's range and support allied operations.
