The Swedish aircraft carrier or the Harry Abom probably would’ve been known as the Harry Abom class of which the Harry Abom seems to be an Aircraft-Carrier-Cruiser idea.
The proposed Harry Abom class had an overall length of 148.2 metres with a designed waterline length of 140 metres with its beam being 28.4 metres with its beam at the design waterline is 20 metres and the design draft was to be 5.5 metres.
She was to have a standard displacement of 7,800 tonnes and a full load displacement of 8,100 tonnes.
Her powerplant is unknown but it could generate 28,000 shaft horsepower for a speed of 25 knots.
She would’ve had a crew complement of 535 and would’ve had a 75mm waterline armour belt plus 25mm armour apparently in the torpedo compartment and 25mm armour with another 50mm of armour for the ship’s deck.
Her Artillery was to be eight 12cm guns in probably 4-twin turrets, sixteen 40mm Bofors autocannons in a mix of single and twin mounts and seventeen 25mm autocannons in single mounts.
Her Air Wing was to be 20 De Havilland Dh-100 Sea Vampires probably the De Havilland Sea Vampire F.20s or F.21s or some kind of J28 licensed variant of the Dh-100 Sea Vampire.
Although given Sweden’s location on the Baltic, What benefit would this ship have given had it gone into service? and What would have been its cons of going into service and how would it have affected the balance of power in the Baltic Region? and How would it have affected the balance of power in the Baltic Region?
Not very much really as
Sweden also has no need for force projection capabilities.
The Swedish had no need for it so I can see why they cancelled it. The Swedish Navy is oriented towards Coastal defence and at that time it was meant to support a network of coastal defences.
If built it would have found itself as a helicopter carrier quickly for Anti-Submarine Warfare duties.
The Soviets would prefer they didn’t build a helicopter carrier either.
