Gustav den Store: Tier IX European Swedish Battleship

A fast battleship capable of confronting the capital ships of Sweden's potential adversaries, which could have been ordered as part of an emergency shipbuilding measure at the height of World War II. Her main armament — nine 381 mm guns — is supplemented by the dual-purpose and AA artillery systems that the Swedish Navy had in the early 1940s.
