Following the completion of her officer training with the Swedish Armed Forces, Crown Princess Victoria undertook practical training with the Swedish Navy during the autumn to deepen her understanding of naval warfare and operations aboard both surface vessels and submarines. The Swedish Armed Forces have released photographs from this training.
The Crown Princess received training in naval mine countermeasures aboard the mine countermeasures vessel HMS Spårö. She also received training in surface warfare aboard the Visby-class corvette HMS Helsingborg. Aboard HMS Gotland, deep in the waters of the Baltic Sea, the Crown Princess further expanded her knowledge of submarine operations.
The Crown Princess also undertook training with the 32nd Coastal Missile Division, a land-based unit that contributes to the Navy’s joint anti-ship operations. She completed similar periods of specialised training with the Army and the Air Force last year and earlier this year.
