Together with the sister ship HSwMS\u00a0Ehrensk\u00f6ld, she constituted the Ehrensk\u00f6ld class, which, with its size and speed, was a major step in the Swedish destroyer fleet. The ship was launched on 19 June 1926. During the World War II, she participated in the neutrality watch and escorted merchant ships along the Swedish east coast. Especially the ore traffic from Lule\u00e5 to Germany had to be protected. In the context of the neutrality watch, she therefore participated in the pursuit of Soviet submarines who broke out of the Gulf of Finland in search of merchant ships. Initially, Nordenskj\u00f6ld had pennant number 12, which was later switched to 2. In 1951\u20131952, the ship was converted to frigate and then received the pennant number 72. She was decommissioned in 1963 and was sold for scrap the following year.Nordenskj\u00f6ld was 91.4 meters long and had a maximum displacement of 1,000 tons. The hull was made of nitrated steel with a precipitating stem and so called &#8220;cruiser stern&#8221;, which meant it was rounded.[3] On the front of the deck was a three-story superstructure that included the bridge, wheelhouse, the medical department and the galley.The machinery consisted of three oil-fired boilers that delivered steam to two steam turbines, which each propelled its propeller. The machine generated 24,000 horsepower, giving a speed of 35 knots.Nordenskj\u00f6ld&#8216;s main armament was made up of three 12\u00a0cm guns, placed on the front deck, between the funnels and on the aft deck. In the stern there was an anti-aircraft bridge with two 40\u00a0mm anti-aircraft automatic guns. Furthermore, there were torpedo tubes, depth charge thrower and rack-deployed depth charges. Mines could also be deployed.History[edit]Nordenskj\u00f6ld was built at G\u00f6taverken in Gothenburg and launched on 19 June 1926. The ship was named after admiral Otto Henrik Nordenskj\u00f6ld. Initially the ship was named O. H. Nordenskj\u00f6ld, but the first name was removed the year after the christening.[4]In the summer of 1929, Nordenskj\u00f6ld escorted together with the sister ship Ehrensk\u00f6ld the coastal defence ship HSwMS\u00a0Sverige during a trip to Estonia and Latvia. On board the coastal defence ship was King Gustaf V, and the trip was first to Tallinn and then Riga before the ships returned to Sweden.[5] The following year, the sister ships participated in another international trip. This time, together with the HSwMS\u00a0Gustav V and HSwMS\u00a0Drottning Victoria to the then German city of Swinem\u00fcnde. The purpose of the trip was to collect the dust from Queen Victoria, who had recently died in Rome.[6]World War II[edit]  Nordenskj\u00f6ld during the World World II with white neutrality bands and pennant number 2.At the outbreak of World War II, Nordenskj\u00f6ld&#8216;s steam boilers were in such a bad condition that they needed replacements, but when the Swedish Navy suffered a shortage of ships, this had to be postponed. Only at the Epiphany weekend of 1940 was the boiler changed at G\u00f6taverken, and on 18 April that year the ship could be put back to service in the Gothenburg Squadron.[7] At the end of April, the ship was in Kalvsund with high readiness for violations of Swedish territory. One night when Nordenskj\u00f6ld was anchored in the Marstrand fjord, she became over flown by German aircraft. She opened fire with the automatic guns and managed to shoot down one of the aircraft.[7]In September 1940, the Nordenskj\u00f6ld escorted the Swedish tanker MT Sveadrott through the barrier that went through Skagerrak during World War II. Sveadrott was loaded with 13,700 tonnes of oil from the Gulf of Mexico on the way to Gothenburg.[8] To allow the passage, the belligerent demanded that the ship was to be escorted through the Skagerrak by Swedish warship, which would serve as a guarantee that no side would try to capture her.[9] For this assignment, the destroyer Nordenskj\u00f6ld and auxiliary cruiser Waria were appointed. At the end of August, blue-yellow bands were painted on the bow and the stern on the destroyer and searchlights was mounted which illuminated ship&#8217;s facade. The crews were unaware of the mission, and were only told that they would be gone for at least ten days.[7] On 1 September, the ships left Gothenburg together with tanker Tv\u00e5an and went to Kristiansand on the Norwegian south coast. In the waters outside of Str\u00f6mstad, the captain said to the crew:A convoy is a piece of Sweden, moved out into the sea. It is inviolable and should any belligerent demand to search the ship, then it will be met with violence.In Kristiansand the two naval ships were bunkered, after which they left for the rendezvous while Tv\u00e5an was left behind. In the evening of 5 September, the ships encountered Sveadrott in the North Sea between Bergen and the Shetland Islands, and the home trip began. A British reconnaissance plane and a large number of German bombers were sighted during the trip, but none of them attacked and on 8 September the convoy arrived to Gothenburg.[10] From 1941 and the rest of the war, Nordenskj\u00f6ld was included in the Karlskrona Squadron, which was part of the South Coast Military District (Sydkustens milit\u00e4rdistrikt). The main duties were neutrality watch and escort of merchant ships along the Swedish coast.After the war[edit]From 1951 to 1952 Nordenskj\u00f6ld was converted to frigate, with the torpedo armament and the aft gun removed and replaced by four 40 mm automatic guns m\/36. Furthermore, she was equipped with equipment such as hydrophone and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare. Command center was set up and radar was installed.[11]Fate[edit]Nordenskj\u00f6ld was decommissioned on 1 April 1963, after which she was as a target ship. In 1964 the ship was sold and scrapped in Gothenburg.[12]References[edit]Notes[edit]^ Whitley 2000, p.\u00a0249^ Parkes 1973, p.\u00a0435^ Borgenstam, Insulander &#038; Kaudern 1989, p.\u00a040^ Borgenstam, Insulander &#038; Kaudern 1989, p.\u00a041^ Steckz\u00e9n 1949, p.\u00a0226^ Steckz\u00e9n 1949, p.\u00a0228^ a b c d Borgenstam, Insulander &#038; Kaudern 1989, p.\u00a091^ Lorents &#038; Zeeh 1941, p.\u00a01063^ Dahlberg 1983, p.\u00a0149^ Lagvall 1991, p.\u00a047^ Borgenstam, Insulander &#038; Kaudern 1989, p.\u00a0105^ Hofsten, Waernberg &#038; Ohlsson 2003, p.\u00a0156Print[edit]Borgenstam, Curt; Insulander, Per; Kaudern, G\u00f6sta (1989).
