HSwMS Svea was the lead ship of the Svea class of first-class coastal defence ships (Pansarskeppen) constructed for the Swedish Navy. The ship was armed with two 254 mm (10 in) guns provided by the British manufacturer Armstrong. The vessel was launched in 1884 and was subject to a number of armament changes over a service lifespan that lasted until 1915, including, in 1903, replacing the main armament with a single Bofors 210 mm (8.3 in) gun. During the upgrades, the redundant guns often found a role in Swedish coastal defence batteries. Although available during the First World War, the warship saw no action. In 1918, the ship was recommissioned as a submarine tender, serving in this capacity until 1941, after which Svea was decommissioned and broken up.
