Sweden (SWE) Ship Namelists

Overview

Sweden maintained the most powerful indigenous naval force in the Baltic Sea throughout the interwar era and World War II, spearheaded by coastal defence ships (pansarskepp such as the Sverige class), modern destroyers (Stadsjagare and Landskapsjagare), fleet submarines, and specialized cruisers such as the seaplane cruiser HMS Gotland and later the Tre Kronor class. In vanilla Hearts of Iron IV, Swedish namelists suffered from critical typographical errors (such as "Plisander" and "Aborren"), heavy cross-category duplication between destroyers and light cruisers, mirrored 5-ship capital lists, and very shallow carrier rosters.

Immersive Ship Names Expanded provides complete, historically grounded namelists for Sweden, restoring authentic naval naming conventions, correcting vanilla typos, and introducing 10 universal thematic pools and a minesweeper role pool for the Ship Designer. All Swedish ships carry the historical prefix HMS (Hans/Hennes Majestäts Skepp).

Role-Specific Pools (Ship Designer)

Group Tag	Topic Name	Ship Types	Sample Names
SWE_MINESWEEPERS	Minesweepers	Universal	Sökaren, Sveparen, Arholma, Landsort, Bremön, Holmön, Ulvön, Koster, Kullen, Vinga, Hanö, Tärnö, Utö, Arkö, Styrsö, Blidö

Follows the Royal Swedish Navy's island-and-skerry convention for minesweepers (Arholma, Landsort, Hanö and Arkö classes). Other roles were considered and skipped: torpedo boats (their star and weather names already fill SWE_DD_HISTORICAL), minelayers (only five verifiable names), and seaplane tenders, training ships, icebreakers, patrol boats, gunboats and corvettes (too few distinct names, or names that duplicate hull groups).

Scope Notes

• SWE_HEROES holds only documented Swedish admirals, generals and statesmen. Two unverifiable legacy entries were removed, and three names were corrected to their attested forms (Johan Christopher Toll, Erik Carlsson Sjöblad, Fredrik Henrik af Chapman).
• SWE_BC_HISTORICAL pairs the great field marshals with attested ships of the line (Mars, Smålands Lejon, Sophia Magdalena), fortresses and citadels (Carlsten, Kungsholm, Karlsborg, Bohus, Sveaborg) and the 1790 victory at Svensksund. Kings stay in SWE_BB_HISTORICAL.
• SWE_CV_HISTORICAL is an alternate-history extrapolation (Sweden never built a carrier). The historic aviation ships Gotland and Dristigheten remain in the cruiser and coastal-defence rosters.
