HSwMS Wale (3) was a destroyer of the Swedish Navy. Wale was built by Kockums Shipyard and launched on September 21, 1907 and delivered to the fleet on 11 April 1908. The vessel was based on the two former British-built destroyers HSwMS Mode and HSwMS Magne. Wale was the first destroyer to be built in Sweden and was influential in the development of the destroyers in that nation. After Wale, in the years 1907–1911, another five destroyers followed with essentially the same design. These were two ships of the Hugin class and three ships of the Ragnar class. Wale was decommissioned on 18 November 1940. She was sunk as a target outside Fårösund by the Swedish Coastal Artillery and the HSwMS Sundsvall on 26 September 1946.[1]
