== History ==
''Arnold Veymer'', named after [[Arnold Veimer]], was built in Finland in 1984 for the [[Soviet Academy of Sciences]] as an [[oceanographic]] ship. She was transferred to Estonia to carry out marine research in the [[Baltic Sea]] and in the Atlantic.

The [[Swedish Navy]] bought the ship from Estonia in September 1996 and she entered service in 1998 as HSwMS ''Trossö'' (A264). She was refitted in 2003 at Falkvarv, Falkenberg and now serves the [[4th Naval Warfare Flotilla (Sweden)|4th Naval Warfare Flotilla]] as a support ship. She also serves as a command ship during larger exercises.

In 2008, together with {{HSwMS|Stockholm|K11|6}} and {{HSwMS|Malmö|K12|6}}, she was included in the Swedish naval force of the [[Operation Atalanta]], deployed off the [[Somalia|Somali]] coast to fight [[Piracy off the coast of Somalia|piracy]].<ref name="I&F" /><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/fordon_motor/fartyg/article536164.ece |newspaper=[[Ny Teknik]] |title=Svenska korvetter på piratjakt i Somalia |last=Karlberg |first=Lars Anders |date=12 March 2009 |access-date=31 March 2009 |language=Swedish |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090320142808/http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/fordon_motor/fartyg/article536164.ece |archivedate=20 March 2009 }}</ref> On 21 October 2009 the ship returned to [[Karlskrona]].
