The Halland can also be used to deploy the Bofors Underwater Systems stand-off self-deployed Mine 42. The submarine also has the capacity to carry 48 mines mounted externally in a girdle arrangement. The ship's combat management system is the 9SCS Mark 3 from CelsiusTech. The system carries the Swedish Royal Navy designation SESUB 940A. The system uses an extended version of the ADA software from CelsiusTech's 9LV Mk 3 surface ship combat management system. The fire control system has the capacity to control several torpedoes in the water simultaneously. The new application software includes target motion analysis developed by Kockums and the University of Lund at Malmo. Kockums have also been responsible for the development of enhanced software for navigation, for torpedo tube control and torpedo tube simulation. The 9SCS Mark 3 Combat Management System has three multifunction consoles, Type IID from Terma.
The terminals are for command and control, communications, and weapon control. The consoles are connected via a dual Ethernet copper wire local area network. The combat management system receives data from the submarines' sensors. The submarine is equipped with a CSU 90-2 integrated sonar sensor suite from STN Atlas Elektronik. This includes a passive cylindrical bow array, an intercept array and two passive flank arrays. The sonar system uses ADA software. The submarine is equipped with a Kollmorgen search and attack periscope and a Terma Scanter navigation radar. The electronic support measures system is the Racal Thorn Manta radar surveillance and warning system as deployed on the British Royal Navy Oberon and Churchill class submarines. Manta carries out surveillance, detection, analysis, classification and identification of hostile radar threats from D-band to J-band. The Manta system also provides a prediction of the detectability of the host submarine by the threat radar using a combination of data from the hostile radar frequency, the sea state and the configuration of the submarine's periscope assembly. The submarine is equipped with two MTU diesel engines and two Kockums V4-275R Stirling Air Independent Propulsion units. The Stirling engines are mounted in elastic, soundproof modules and each provide up to 75 kW. The submarine has the capacity for two weeks of air independent propulsion at a speed of 5 knots without snorting. The AIP uses liquid oxygen and diesel fuel in a controlled inert (helium) environment. The AIP liquid oxygen tanks are located on the deck below the engines. The propulsion system provides a speed of 11 knots surfaced and 20 knots dived.

Harbour is a general name given to any bay, creek, or inlet of the sea affording accommodation for ships and protection against the wind and sea. The great requisites of a good harbour are accessibility, adequate depth of water, and shelter from violence of wind and water. Harbours are either natural or artificial, the latter being made wholly or partly by the construction of moles or breakwaters. In connection with the more important harbours there are usually docks, in which the water is kept as nearly as possible at the same level, thus giving facility in loading and unloading.

The USS Heron is an American Osprey Class mine hunter. The Osprey Class ships are the world's largest glass reinforced plastic (GRP) ships and are the first United States Navy ships designed solely for mine hunting. The technique used to locate mines is by high definition sonar and the mines are neutralised with a remotely controlled underwater vehicle. The platform has been designed with exceptionally low magnetic and acoustic signatures to protect against mine detonations during mine hunting operations. The ship has two Isotta Franschini ID 36 SS 8V AM diesel engines which provide 1,600 hp and drive two Voith Schneider cycloidal propellers for increased manoeuvrability. The non magnetic diesel engines are similar to those used in the US Navy's Avenger Class Mine Countermeasures Vessels. The three diesel generators are Isotta Franschini ID 36. The machinery is acoustically isolated and suspended from the main deck in glass reinforced plastic cradles. When an undersea explosion occurs the isolated machinery remains
unaffected. For defence, the ship has two 12.7 mm machine-guns.

A hovercraft (ACV) is a vehicle - first invented in Britain by Christopher Cockerell during the 1950s, and based upon the theories of Sir John Thornycroft drawn up in the 1870s that a ship's drag could be reduced by trapping air between the bottom of the hull and the water - which is supported by a cushion of air projected downwards by a fan and trapped within a fabric skirt around the base of the vehicle. This cushion of air enables hovercraft to travel over both land and sea, and makes them very versatile and suitable for military applications such as amphibious landings.
The first practical hovercraft, the SR.N1 was lunched in 1959. The SR.N1 weighed four tons, and could carry three men at a speed of 25 knots over land or very calm water.

The Hvidbjornen is a Danish Thetis class multi-role frigate used for fishery protection, surveillance, air-sea rescue, anti-pollution and ice reconnaissance. The armament consists of one Otobreda 76 mm Super Rapid main gun, one or two 20 mm guns from Oerlikon, and depth charge throwers. The Super Rapid gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute and a range of 16 km. The fire control system is the CelsiusTech 9LV 200 Mk 3. A FLIR Systems Inc AN/AAQ-22 SAFIRE thermal imaging system is used for surveillance. All weapon and equipment systems are connected through the frigates' command, control and communications system. The frigate has a landing deck with a landing spot for a single helicopter. Helicopter support arrangements include a glide path indicator (GPI) and a flight refuelling system.
The hangar is equipped for helicopter maintenance and has capacity to hold a Lynx helicopter without having to fold the helicopter tail. The hangar is fitted with a full width door. The frigate has a double-skinned hull up to two metres above the water-line. The hull is divided by ten bulkheads into watertight compartments such that the vessels are able to sustain hull damage up to eight metres in length without dangerous instability problems. For ship propulsion, one engine-room and the gear-room can be water-filled at the same time, and the frigates will still be able to proceed. The basic hull shape corresponds to that of a high-speed trawler. The frames in the bow and stern are very closely spaced. Amidships the thickness of the outer skin has been increased. The propeller is protected against ice by a bulb in the stern There are no bilge keels, but stabilisation is achieved by a combination of fin stabilizers from Blohm and Voss and a controlled passive tank system supplied by Intering. To minimise ice formation on the superstructure, all winches, capstans, etc. are placed under deck. The forecastle deck is trawler shaped and all open deck spaces and scuppers are heated. The allowed amount of icing is 375 tons.
The propulsion machinery consists of three MAN B&W V28/32 diesel engines with combined power of 9000 kW, fitted in two separate watertight compartments on each side of the gear compartment. The reduction gear box is able to operate under water. The fitted bow thruster is able to hold the bow against a wind of 28 knots. A retractable azimuth thruster is capable of propelling the ship at 10 knots, and can be considered as an emergency machinery set in case of damage to propeller or gears or total engine failure. A shaft generator of 1500 kW is located in the forward engine room, and there are three GM Detroit diesel motors with Volund Teknik generators, each with an output of 480 kW, installed with one in the forward and two in the aft engine room. An 127 kW emergency diesel generating set is fitted in a compartment under the forecastle deck. The ship has an endurance of 8300 nautical miles at varying speeds with a 10 per cent fuel reserve. Provisions cover four months' operations, and the stocks of spare parts are sufficient for six months at sea without replenishment. Helicopter fuel suffices for 150 flying hours. The frigate is ice strengthened and is able to proceed through 80 cm of solid ice. The hull has an icebreaking bow and stem lines suitable for operations in ice with only one propeller. Maximum continuous speed is 20 knots in four metre seas. The sea keeping qualities allow the ship to stand up to wind gusts of 150 knots during light ice conditions and operate in all sea conditions at speeds of 4-5 knots.
