Project history: Last series of so-called "standard" destroyers and the first to which design really appreciable changes have been made, in comparison with Ehrensköld class. Gun No2, earlier positioned between funnels, has been transferred to aft superstructure. Antiaircraft armament also was notably strengthened, having placed by rather small ships powerful battery consisting of 4 40mm and 4 20mm MGs.
The order for two first units have given out in 1941 according to usual practice to build the ships in pairs. After loss in September 1941 of Klas Uggla and Klas Horn for their replacement have given out the order for building of two more destroyers.
Modernizations: 1957-1959, Hälsingborg, Kalmar: - 1 x 2 - 40/60, 2 x 1 - 40/60, 4 x 1 - 20/68, 2 x 3 - 533 TT; + 3 x 1 - 40/70 M48, 1 x 5 - 533 TT, radars, sonar
