The suggested fleet mix assigns different missions to different hulls. Luleå frigates would provide staying power and convoy protection under a local sea-control mission. Submarines and a possible second-generation Visby would form the concealed sea-denial layer that keeps an opponent uncertain. In confined waters, a stealth corvette designed for discreet local control or support of drones could suit that task better than a submarine. A larger flagship would supply the visible deterrent element, linking concealed threats with an unmistakable surface presence. The second-generation Visby and larger flagship are advocated here as possible complements to the frigates.
