Viking class submarine

Viking class submarine

The "Viking" class submarine was a future submarine class which was planned to be built by the Viking Submarine Corporation. Viking was a corporation jointly established by Kockums in Sweden, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace in Norway and Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark. Finland was an observer of the Viking and for an eventual future order of additional Viking submarines.

It was initially planned that the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian Navies would purchase 2, 4, and 4 Viking-class submarines each starting in 2005. However, when the Danish Navy announced that they would stop using submarines completely in the summer of 2004, the whole Viking project died out. Currently Kockums is doing low-intensive continuous research, based on the Viking design.
