HSwMS Malmö (P12) is a patrol vessel belonging to the Swedish Navy. Together with her sister ship HSwMS Stockholm, she formed the Stockholm class. In 1999 she was set to begin her mid-life upgrade and in 2010 she was merged into the 31st Corvette Division of the 3rd Naval Warfare Flotilla along with her sister ship. In 2017, Malmö was rebuilt into a Malmö-class patrol vessel.

History

[edit]

Malmö was built by Karlskronavarvet and was launched on 21 Mars 1985. After trials the ship was delivered to the Navy on 8 November 1985, and then became the command ship for one of the then surface warfare flotillas.[3]
