Notes
The Fädernäslandet (The Fatherland) class Super Dreadnought was Swedens second class of true Dreadnought type battleships. They where faste and extensivly armored as their collegues in foreign navies. They where primaly built as a response to the russian never completed Izmail class battlecruisers..
