Hårsfjärden

The Hårsfjärden, or Horsfjärden (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhɔ̂ʂːˌfjæːɖɛn]),[1] is a fjard off the Baltic Sea near Stockholm, Sweden.

[2] It is the location of three Swedish naval bases: Märsgarn, Muskö, and Berga.

It was the location of the Hårsfjärden incident, during October 1–13, 1982, in which Swedish forces appeared to have trapped a foreign submarine, believed to be Soviet, but the submarine escaped.

[3] Three Swedish destroyers were sunk in the Hårsfjärden in an explosion on 17 September 1941, during World War II.

The three destroyers sunk at a naval base on the fjord were Göteborg, Klas Horn and Klas Uggla.
