HSwMS Norrköping was a destroyer of the Royal Swedish Navy that served during the Second World War and in the Cold War. The sixth member of the Göteborg or city class, an improvement on the previous Ehrensköld class, Norrköping was launched on 5 September 1940. After the Second World War, in 1948, the destroyer took part in a European tour with other Swedish warships, led by the cruiser Fylgia, which involved sailing to the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. Between 1950 and 1951, the ship was upgraded, with new more effective anti-aircraft weapons, new electronics and a slight increase in beam and displacement, In 1952, the destroyer went on another tour, accompanied by the cruiser Gotland, to Belgium. Rerated a frigate in 1961, the vessel was decommissioned on 1 February 1965. Subsequently used as a target ship, Norrköping was finally sunk on 26 May 1977.
