Some Swedish ships over the ages.
A small longship, incidently the oldest still sailing.
HMS land teaching them Englishmen a lesson back in 1704.
An unusual ship type, an archipelago frigate of the Udema-class, mid 1700s. Had the artillery placed in turning carriages along the centerline, kind of like later day turrets.
One of very few remaining monitors, the Slve. John Ericsson gave his blueprints to Sweden just some month after Hampton Roads, and this is one of the ships built after those. I don't know what happened with the turret.
HMS Fylgia, world's smallest armoured cruiser, after her refit.
Sweden's last cruiser, HMS Gta Lejon.
Visby class corvettes (HMS Visby and Helsingborg I think), the first real operational stealth ships:

Akula class are just SSNS submarines...but anyway - nice shaped and very fast even when submerged.
France has this SSNS submarine class Amethyst(and more)

someone might have already done these, but... ..blast. It keeps saying the pictures URL has an "error loading, check the path name" or something. err..anyways... 1) Canoes. I love the sleek, streamlines style of them, and how much can be done with boats that are so simple, yet elegant. 2)LONGSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPSSS!!! Where else do you find ships with dragon carvings on the prow, shields on every side, and that were used to attack constantinople?

My favourite vessel, training ship Georg Stage - not really a warship, but it's the smallest full-rigged ship, and also the prettiest, imho. It looks better in real life, though.
