I was an officer on a roro ship in the Baltic at the time this happened. It didn't come as a surprise to me. At that time the Baltic was one big war game. We often had "company" while we were on passage from travemunde to sodertalje. Sometimes, at night, we could see on the radar that there were ships on a collision course only 2kms away but you could never see them, they would be traveling without navigation lights on and moving at over 25 knots. They would buzz us a few times and then move away. Crazy stuff and dangerous too. One memory I have is when we were leaving travemunde the pilot told our captain that if the ship lost power for any reason we should try our best to ground the ship on the west side of the channel. Our captain asked if the reason was because of rocks on the eastern side, to which the pilot replied, no captain not rocks..... Mines!!!!

Sweden has allways be neutral

@@gothenburgsgeneral5109 No, Sweden has not been neutral since 1939.

@@gothenburgsgeneral5109 Swedens's post WW2 policy have been stated as:
"Pursuing a non-aligned policy in peacetime aiming at neutrality in wartime."
but have basically been
"Pursuing an apparently non-aligned policy in peacetime aimed at neutrality in wartime but where we prepare and facilitate to accept support and forces from the West and NATO if we are invaded by the USSR and the Warsaw Pact."
...but one can not state fully and still claim to be "neutral" (?) ;-)

As a Dane, I remember this incident from my youth. I was almost 16 at that time, and first I and everybody else were puzzled as the first sporadic news came out on the radio on the morning news, later to emerge as a full-blown international tug-of-war.
This incidence sparked my political and geopolitical interest, not least because I had (and still have) relatives in Latvia, an interest that has provided somewhat more insight into what motivated the Warsaw pact to act as it did in the Baltic Sea, and what motivated Nato and Sweden to react in kind, than most of my peers cared to know.
Years later, I coincidentically found a Danish translation of the brilliant book about Uboat 137 by Anders Jörle and Anders Hellberg. I occasionally re-read it, both for the suspense and for the fun parts, not least how the Russian navigator drew a line straight through Bornholm based on bearings from the log in order to try to explain how they could end up on a rock in Swedish military area by accident, and who just shrug his shoulders when the interrogaters pointed this out.

Love the old guy at the end - “a 130 mile navigation error? Only a fool would fall for that”

[@pulverapa1580]

The usual Russian lies. They've done it for hundreds of years.

[@paanikki]

Navigation errors of several hundreds of nautical miles are not common, but they are not unheard of. There have been cases where large cargo ships have ended up several hundred nautical miles off course, because of autopilot controlled by a malfunctioning gyro compass. The error of a malfunctioning gyro compass grows slowly and gradually, so it is not so obvious and easy to notice.

The "old guy" was Torbjörn Fälldin. The Swedish Prime Minister during the U137 crisis.

ua-cam.com/video/WdsezCWfRmk/v-deo.html The noise was so loud, Bertil Sturkman had to take a look. Ingvar Svensson told in another TV interview, now completely missing, that Bertil went over the ridge to look down at the Sub and saw two submarines, one trying to tow the stranded U-137 afloat. This second submarine left the premises before daylight. Two subs, at the highest engine power in a desolate area. This other sub is outside the Swedish border later, and is recognized by the Swedish Navy. There is no way this was a miscalculation in navigation.

hur långt utanför gåsafjärden, är gränsen till internationelt farvatten.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Det är i regel mycket mindre än man tror, tio sjömil från kusten eller de yttersta öarna har jag för mig, men främmande militärfartyg som ens närmar sig territorialgränsen utan att meddela sig ses som en direkt provokation.
