The thing with the Swedish costal artillery is that it always consisted of a static and a mobile element.
The static element was responsible for the costal batteries, mine stations, surveillance radars, fort defense infantry & AAA and logistics. The mobile element consisted of amphibious infantry, costal rangers, assault and pioneer/EOD divers, sea mine laying division, light and heavy surface launched anti ship missiles, mobile anti ship artillery (120mm clip fed self-deploying towed gun-howitzers) and mobile costal defense AAA & SAMs as well as the marine helicopter division. (Boeing sea-knight and Super Puma utility helicopters kitted for Sea search&rescue in both peace and war, SF insertion/extraction and submarine hunting in littoral archipelagos and at sea.)
It was the Swedish costal artillery helicopters and their surface rescue operators who, in mid storm at night, rescued those that survived the MS Estonia passenger ferry disaster.
