Sweden, departing

The Swedish Navy is leaving San Diego - and with them the best ASW training the US Navy has received to date. Now, we are begging again.

The Swedish Navy submarine Gotland, which has worked with U.S. naval forces off San Diego since June 2005, will soon be returning to Sweden. The U.S. Navy had “leased” the submarine -- the Swedes note that only actual expenses have been charged -- to help train U.S. anti-submarine forces to cope with modern, non-nuclear submarines.

Thanks for the help guys - I hope you tan makes it home.
