HSwMS Wachtmeisterwas the second and last of the Wrangel-class destroyers built for the Royal Swedish Navy during World War I.

[1] During an exercise on the evening of 8 June 1922, Wachtmeister was rammed just forward of the bridge by the destroyer HSwMS Vidar.

[5] From 28 June to 2 July 1923, Wachtmeister and her sister ship Wrangel escorted the three Sverige-class coastal defence ships from Karlskrona to Sheerness, England to celebrate the engagement of Crown Prince Gustav Adolf to Lady Louise Mountbatten.

A few days later, the squadron proceeded to Rosyth, Scotland, where they were hosted by the British Atlantic Fleet before returning to Sweden.

[6][7] On 24 August 1930, the coastal defense ship Manligheten ran aground while sailing between Stockholm and Horsfjärden in poor weather.

Despite efforts by the minelayer Clas Fleming and coastal battleship Drottning Victoria, the vessel could not be towed off.

Wachtmeister, by sailing past at full speed over and over again, succeeded in freeing the ship using her bow wave.
