Combat boat – grounding in Gothenburg archipelago

A combat boat with four crew members was out practicing high-speed navigation in the Gothenburg archipelago. As the vessel approached a passage between the skerry Snippeskären and the island of Ägglös, it went off course and could not avoid a protruding cape at Snippeskäret. The bow of the vessel struck the skerry, causing the boat to bounce up onto the skerry while the ship was thrown around, with the bow swinging approximately 90° to starboard. Two of the crew members were seriously injured in connection with the collision with the skerry.
