HSwMS Wrangel was the lead ship of her class of two destroyers built for the Royal Swedish Navy during World War I.

[1] On 27 August 1922, the ship used her searchlight to participate in a festival of lights in celebration for the silver wedding anniversary of Duke and Duchess of Västergötland at Villa Fridhem.

[5] From 28 June to 2 July 1923, Wrangel and her sister ship Wachtmeister 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 leaving for Sweden.

[6][7] The flotilla returned to Gothenburg with the new Crown Princess aboard the passenger ship Patricia on 11 December.

[9] During the winter of 1940–1941, the ship was re-boilered, but by late autumn 1943, she was put into material reserve in Stockholm.
