Project history: Fylgia became the first rigorous cruiser of Swedish Navy. According to management plans this ship should play a role of a scout at the main forces, and also of leader of torpedo boat flotillas in torpedo attacks. Swedish designers have not gone on a way of loan of foreign experience as in a case with destroyers and torpedo boats and have prepared own original enough design for time. Its main feature became an arrangement of all main artillery in twin turrets and armoured belt protecting boiler and engine rooms. So Fylgia was one of the smallest armoured cruisers in the world. The order has been given out 14.10.1902. As a whole Swedes valued the ship as successful despite mediocre 21.5kts.
Protection: 100mm belt protected machinery spaces, its lower edge was connected by 50mm main deck slopes, flat part of main deck had 22mm thickness behind the belt. Main deck outside citadel had 35mm thickness and turtleback form. Turrets had 125mm faces and 50mm sides. Ammunition hoists had 100mm protection.
