This is a list of active ships of the Royal Swedish Navy.

Swedish Navy

The Swedish Navy is the naval branch of the Swedish Armed Forces. It is composed of surface and submarine naval units – the Royal Fleet (Kungliga flottan) – as well as marine units, the Amphibious Corps.

In Swedish, vessels of the Swedish Navy are given the prefix "HMS," short for Hans/Hennes Majestäts Skepp (His/Her Majesty's Ship). In English, this is often changed to "HSwMS" ("His/Her Swedish Majesty's Ship") to differentiate Swedish vessels from those of the British Royal Navy.

Swedish Coast Guard

The Swedish Coast Guard is not officially a part of the navy, but operates under the Ministry of Defence and its activities are coordinated with the Swedish Armed Forces.

Out of 20 bases from Luleå to Strömstad, the Coast Guard operate along the entire coastline of Sweden, with the mission to rescue, assist and monitor.

The total number of vessels exceeds 100 of which 25 are patrol and combination vessels dedicated to maritime surveillance, 5 are environmental protection vessels and 4 are hovercraft, two of which are of the same type as operated by the navy.

While the vessels are themselves unarmed, the crews are equipped with light arms equivalent to the ones in use by the Swedish Armed Forces.

In addition, the Coast Guard has 3 Dash 8 Q-300 aircraft for maritime surveillance. The aircraft are based at the Skavsta Airport out of Nyköping.

Maritime helicopters

The Swedish Air Force operates three types of helicopters: NHIndustries NH90, 18 in service (Swedish designation: HKP14), AgustaWestland AW109, 20 in service (Swedish designation: HKP15) and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, 15 in service (Swedish designation: HKP16).

8 of the AgustaWestland AW109 helicopters have been modified to be operational from the Visby-class corvettes and HSwMS Carlskrona, designated HKP15B. Thus HSwMS Carlskrona does not have a hangar, it can base and maintain 2 HKP15B during longer operations.

HSwMS Belos has a large helicopter platform for search and rescue purposes.

9 of the NHIndustries NH90 helicopters are equipped for anti-submarine warfare, designated HKP14F.
