Swedish Radio program Gräns did an interview with commander Paula Wallenburg, top brass of Swedish submarines, guardian of Gotland depths.
She was also part of the crew that sank Nimitz-class carrier USS Ronald Reagan in an exercise in 2005.
Worth a listen!

21 years ago a single submarine of Swedish Navy sneaked past the extensive anti-submarine shields and sank air craft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in an exercise.
Sweden has since refined the stealth properties of the Gotland-class submarines and a newer class is under construction.

I see this line trotted out from time-to-time but there’s never any units mentioned to back it up!
From my observations There’s been no Russian Naval surface vessel activity IVO Greenland since RV Kronprins Haakon was surveilled by RV Yantar in the Fram Strait back in September 2023!

Trump says the US "needs" Greenland for security reasons. But Danish officials have already offered him the ability to increase America's military presence there.
