Swedish naval officers replaced due criticism on reducing naval budget according to the Dutch magazine Marineblad dated 1913-1914 no. 6

An item reported that the Swedish chief naval staff was dismissed and replaced by the chief in command of the naval base at Karlskrona, while the latter followed the line of the cabinet namely reducing the budget. The corps of naval officers was very disappointed with this policy and feared for more replacements or transfers.
