[3] Due to time and cost, HSwMS Östergötland, like the other ships in the class, was built largely according to the drawings of the Öland-class destroyer.

From the beginning, the air defense consisted of seven 40 mm automatic cannons w / 48 E. These were placed two for the superstructure, one on each side amidships, and three on the aft bridge.

Gästrikland was built at Götaverken in Gothenburg and was launched on 28 May 1956 in which her sea trial took place in 1958 and commissioned on 14 January 1959.

Gästrikland was part of the school flotilla in late 1970s as a training ship.
