Are you thinking about the Visby-class?
It is not a battleship but a corvette (uhm..at least if in english the same expression are used for this type of class..I have to admin I dont have a clue about that)
It has 650t, is 72m long and 10,4m wide. The Crew is about 40 men and the ship can reach over 35 knots. It has also has a hangar deck for helicopters.
Its Armament consist of Bofors 57 mm/70 SAK Mk3, 8 × RBS15 Mk2 Anti-ship-missles, 4 × 400 mm tubes for Type 43/45 torpedoes, ASW mortars Saab Alectro 601 127mm and it has mine-laying capacities. The class seems to lack any Anti-Air weapons or I am missing something.
It is a patroulship only designed for activities near the cost, but they are currently working on a upgraded high-sea version which would be much bigger and have a crew almost dubble the size.
