Karlskrona Artillery Corps (Swedish: Karlskrona artillerikår) was a coastal artillery unit of the Swedish Navy which operated between 1893 and 1902.
Karlskrona Artillery Corps, intended for crew in Karlskrona's fortifications and was part of the Swedish Navy, was established in 1893[2] after its organization was adopted by the 1892 Riksdag.
[3] The corps consisted of four companies with a total of 360 men, enlisted to serve three years and in constant service.
[4] In connection with the proposal for a new military order, the establishment of a coastal artillery was proposed, which would account for both artillery and mining crew to all coastal fortifications.
The proposal was passed by the Riksdag, and by Royal Decree on 1 November 1901, Vaxholm Artillery Corps and Karlskrona Artillery Corps were merged from the beginning of 1902, as well as some mining crew from the navy, into the Swedish Coastal Artillery.
