Sweden has a navy?

Yup.

A good one too!

Today, it seems the Americans are the ones who's something to learn from us:

Larger countries with more of economic resources and technological knowhow like, for instance, Germany could probably come up with even more interesting products if there was enough of political will to defend freedom.
