HSwMS Fenris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HSwMS Fenris was a monitor that served with the Swedish Navy from 1872 to 1903.[1] She was an experimental small coastal defense monitor and while not seen as a success, experience gained in her development was used in the later Sölve class of monitors.[2] Despite being of the John Ericsson class, she was closest in design to HSwMS Garmer.
