She served as a minelayer from 1976 until 1999 when she was refitted to her current role as a command ship. Her sister ship HSwMS Älvsborg was sold to the Chilean Navy 1997 and renamed Almirante José Toribio Merino Castro. The last conscripts served during the year 2010 and also honoured the royal wedding with their presence the same year. She was then taken out of active duty and her planned replacement is HSwMS Trossö which returned from the EUNAVFOR operation Atalanta 2010.
