[1][2] Svärdet was, during the Scanian War, under the command of Claes Uggla, and fought in the Battle of Öland.

[1] She was surrounded early in the battle, and fought for two hours until her main mast was destroyed and the ship surrendered.

Before the surrounding enemies could board Svärdet, a Dutch fireship accidentally set her ablaze.

The fire eventually reached the gunpowder store, which set off an explosion that sank the ship.

[2] On 15 November 2011, it was announced that a wreck believed to be Svärdet had been found by divers off the island coast of Öland.
