Different Destroyer Classes with the same name


Apparently, the United States Navy's two different versions of the Farragut-class destroyers were not the only instance of a ship class having the same name. Sweden has also done that with their submarine classes. In fact, Sweden had two different versions of the Hajen-class submarine as well as two different versions of the Draken-class submarine that they had to name the two different Hajen-classes as the Hajen II-class and Hajen III-class, and the two Draken-classes were known as the Draken I-class and Draken II-class. As for why there was no Hajen I-class submarine, that's because the first HSwMS Hajen was actually an individual submarine.
