HSwMS Nordkaparen (1961)

HSwMS Nordkaparen (Nor), was the fifth boat of the Draken-class submarine of the Swedish Navy.

[1] HSwMS Nordkaparen was launched on 8 March 1961 by Saab Kockums, Malmö and commissioned on 4 April 1962.

On 18 September 1980, Nordkaparen was extremely close to colliding with a foreign submarine between Utö and Huvudskär.

During a speed test, Nordkaparen operated together with one of the navy's helicopters for anti-submarine warfare.

The submarine replied that it was alone and stepped to the surface for safety reasons.
