Visby Corvettes Delivered to the Swedish Navy
The first two of the series, specifically the HMS Helsingborg and HMS Härnösand have been delivered to the Swedish Navy.
It's not big news, but I think that the Visby's are the coolest looking surface combatants out there.
I would note I am still dubious of the effectiveness of full up stealth on surface ships.
Between the ocean environment, and the fact that even the stealthiest ship leaves a visible wake, I'm not sure that it does much, except perhaps reducing jamming power required by a few watts.
