A worldwide unique task force based on CB 90 H
The Swedish Navy has, through the Defence Material Administration (FMV), ordered a total of 147 Combat Boats of type CB 90 H. In addition to the basic troop carrier / landing craft a number of crafts have been fitted out as command centres and the latest version, CB 90 HS, with both personnel and MBC protection. The prototypes were delivered back in 1989 and the last unit will be delivered in October 2003.

The Swedish Navy has organized a very special task force, the Amphibious Battalion operating in littoral waters along the 2500 km Swedish coastline. The transportation of troops and material is based on the specially designed Combat Boat 90 H (Stridsbåt 90). Its main mission is to land troops, half a platoon fully equipped soldiers or corresponding amount of equipment, anywhere along the coast and archipelagos. It is also used to put reconnaissance units ashore or mines in the water. It is a very powerful platform.
