As tensions between the United States of America and the Soviet Union continue to simmer, it has become clear that Scandinavia will be caught in the middle of a conflict should one ever break out. Therefore, the need for a new generation of submarines has become apparent to the Scandinavian Navy High Command, as well as politicians and experts in the Scandinavian Community. The possibility of purchasing foreign designs was investigated, however the decision was made to work on a Scandinavian-designed submarine, despite higher costs.
In an effort to combat these higher costs, the designer of the submarine class has been tasked with also designing a slightly downgraded version for export to nations around the world, this hopefully bringing down the unit cost of a submarine. This class of submarine, known as the Göteborg EX-class, will be marketed to nations with the need for highly capable submarines, at a somewhat higher cost than other current designs on the market.
The class for the Scandinavian Navy, the Göteburg-class submarine, will be one of the most advanced non-nuclear submarine-classes in the world, with Kockums having incorporated many cutting-edge features, including for instance anechoic tiles. These tiles will massively increase the stealth, and thereby the capabilities as a whole, of the submarines. Additionally, the design will have high levels of speed and underwater endurance, higher than most conventional submarines.
Twelve vessels have been ordered, six being built in Sweden, three in Norway and three in Denmark. Deliveries will begin in late 1964, with four vessels being delivered every year until 1967. Once delivered, they will undergo trials and then finally be commissioned in the Scandinavian Navy.

Did your ship get slammed by a graviton pulse? Intercept a rogue asteroid? Suffer a raid by the Kazon?
How embarrassed you must have felt when your shields failed and rocks didn't fall from the ceiling!! What kind of el cheapo starship can't afford rocks in the ceiling? That's like a Borg cube without dryer hose!
Well don't worry, Crazy Quark has got you covered! We've got big rocks, we've got small rocks, we've got heavy rocks, we've got all the kinds of rocks! Using patent pending Targeted Transportation Technology, we beam the rocks directly into your hull plating and bulkheads! Then, when the time is right, those rocks are deposited to the decking below! (Anti-gravity rocks available upon request.)
We can do whole decks, sections, just the bridge, or individual crew quarters, no job is too big, no job is too small! We take custom orders, too. Need a rock to drop directly on your first officer? We can arrange that! Only put rocks on the starboard side of the hallways? Doable. Your order is our pleasure!
Ask us how you can get a 20% discount on rocks by also purchasing our "Fireworks in the computer screens" package for just an additional nine bars of latinum per firework per month.
Order now and get a single room fog-machined for free!^1
Hurry, rocks are running out fast!!
^([1: While supplies last, terms and conditions apply, not available in aquatic atmospheres, free means nine bars of latinum per fog machine per month, acceptance of free fog machine is mandatory and legally binding.])
Asking this because the situation will rise up in my next session. We're post-OT, and the group was in a Corvette when their Force sensitive psychic had a vision and steered them into the middle of nowhere, where an Acclamator fell out of hyperspace, filled with clone troopers and a Jedi general who all think the Clone Wars are still going on.
That was the end of last session, and at the start of the next one the Acclamator will try to force the Corvette to dock or land inside them. Pretty sure it will be possible but I'm not familiar with Acclamators and don't really know how these work. Its hangar on Wookieepedia shows mostly ground assault stuff, but I can make the hangar mostly empty if that helps this question (I was planning to, anyway). Related, I don't see a starfighter hangar, does/can it have one?
