Military unit

The3rd Naval Warfare Flotilla (Swedish:Tredje sjöstridsflottiljen or3. sjöstridsflj) is aSwedish Navy flotilla located in the county ofBlekinge, active since 1983. The flotilla is located at Karlskrona Garrison and shares its location with the1st Submarine Flotilla.

History

[edit]

The flotilla was established on 1 January 1983 as the 4th Surface Attack Flotilla, formed from the remnants of the 1st Destroyer Flotilla and the 1st Patrol Boat Flotilla, which had been disbanded in the preceding years.^[3]

The process of establishing the flotilla was problematic. There was no space available onboard any vessel within the flotilla to accommodate the headquarters, so it had to be temporarily based on land. Additionally, the financial constraints faced by theSwedish Armed Forces at the time were further complicated by efforts to digitalize the navy’s economic management. This shift to computerized systems made financial administration more difficult, as few personnel were familiar with the new technology.^[3]

Organization

[edit]

The 3rd Naval Warfare Flotilla is unique among non-amphibious naval units in that it includes the only missile unit of its kind. The unit, known as the 311th Missile Unit, operates a highly mobileanti-ship missile system primarily used to support naval forces in engagements with other vessels.^[4]

As of 2024, the peacetime organization of the 3rd Naval Warfare Flotilla is as follows:^[5]
