The museum discussion presents Småland as a compact display of Swedish weapons integration. The destroyer began with two quadruple torpedo mounts. When missiles were added, one mount became quintuple and the other triple, with the missile launcher fitted above the latter. Retaining torpedo storage while finding room for the new system makes the preserved ship a useful lesson in dense modernization rather than simple replacement.
