Swedish Gotland submarine lease predates Reagan exercise
By The BriefBrief
The U.S. Navy arranged in 2004 to train with Sweden’s HSwMS Gotland, a diesel-electric submarine. The navies signed a training agreement on March 21, 2005, and Gotland arrived at Naval Air Station North Island on June 27, months before a December exercise with the USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group.
WHO: United States Navy and Sweden’s HSwMS Gotland crew
WHAT: The U.S. Navy’s 2004 lease/training arrangement for the Swedish submarine HSwMS Gotland preceded a later December 2005 exercise involving the USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group.
WHEN: Reported Sep 10, 2026 at 7:08 AM ET
WHERE: Naval Air Station North Island, California, USA
WHY: The arrangement was made because the U.S. Navy lacked a comparable diesel-electric submarine capability for coastal, weeks-long training.
