Designed in 1926 as a Seaplane Carrier but launched in 1933 as a six inch armed Seaplane Cruiser, Gotland was a one of a kind cruiser for the Svenska marinen acting as the centerpiece of one it's three light cruiser groups. Equipped with imported Hawker Ospreys (replaced in game with Saab S 17BS), she and her recon planes detected Bismarck as it made a break for the Atlantic Ocean, triggering the events of the Battle of Denmark Strait.
