List of destroyers of the Swedish Navy
This is a list of Swedish destroyers commissioned between 1902 and 1959. The Swedish Navy has once re-numbered all its destroyers. Some ships were assigned hull numbers, which were later changed. Other ships have generally been issued a number, but never wore it. Some destroyers of the Göteborg and Visby classes were rebuilt between 1966–68 and were reclassified as frigates, changing their hull numbers from J to F. No ship has ever had the hull number J15.

gollark: The machine code for them is excessively complex too, now, but I suppose you mostly write Haskell and whatnot which is then compiled to that.
gollark: They have ridiculously complex manufacturing processes because the transistors are on the scale of a few hundred atoms, it's crazy.
gollark: Also, with your processor comment, you are kind of underselling the complexity involved. It's not separate transistors, they're all just made on large bits of silicon together and wired up. Billions of them per processor.
gollark: In the case of games, which are basically just *information*, though, you can both use it because it can be copied (assuming no DRM meddling).
gollark: Quantum electrodynamics is still an important field of study.
