First-in-class submarine "Gotland" has been delivered to the Swedish Navy (Svenska Marinen) following a series of platform upgrades including a new AIP system and a combat system similar to the one set to be fitted aboard the next generation A26 submarine.

The relaunch of HMS Uppland took place June 19, 2019 at Saab Kockums' shipyard in Karlskrona. Two of the Gotland-class submarines have now concluded comprehensive mid-life upgrades (MLU) and are equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow.
