An item referred to the Moniteur de la Flotte reporting that for 1857 the strength of the Swedish navy was to consist of 10 ships of the line, 6 frigates, 4 corvettes, 4 brigs, 9 steam corvettes, 20 armed schooners, 77 gunboats, 122 gun sloops, 6 bombs, 22 steam aviso‘s, 2 royal yachts, 21 transports and 594 rowboats.
The strength of the Norwegian navy was to consist of 2 frigates, 2 corvettes, 2 steam corvettes, 1 brig, 43 gun sloops and 5 steam tugs. Further more a frigate and a steam aviso under construction.
In case of war were all ships good enough to be fitted out, in peace time were just enough ships fitted out as needed.
