Sweden may retain the milling and barrel-making facilities needed for battleship armor and heavy guns. Other countries would first have to rebuild that infrastructure. Bofors facilities provide the example, with a distinction between equipment physically located in Sweden and British financial control through BAE. The suggestion remains a tentative assessment of surviving capacity.

Could Sweden retain the industrial plant to build battleships?
Sweden is proposed as an unusually plausible location for restarting battleship construction because heavy plate and gun-barrel facilities may survive there.
