Sweden began to return to its Ministry of Defense objects previously alienated from him. According to the portal navaltoday.com, the Swedish Fortifications Agency (SFA), the Swedish Fortifications Agency (SFA), has bought a private military base of submarines on the island of Gotland from a private individual.
In the 2004 year, as part of a program to reduce military spending, the submarine base in the town of Ferosund was demilitarized and sold to a private person — then the SFA rescued SEK for the 18 object in million Swedish crowns.

Formally finalize the agreement to be the Government of Sweden, and by the end of April, the base should again become a military target.
