Karl Johan is a dubble name. The name means the 14th Karl-Johan. Karl 14 Johans family name was Bernadotte (Karl IX was a french general that sweden recruited as its king)
@davidwhitfield602511 ай бұрын
Jean Bernadotte was actually a Marshal of France (and a pretty two faced one at that). Son of a French lawyer who joined the French Revolution and would rise rapidly through the ranks through the Revolutionary and Napoleonic army before becoming the adopt son of the King of Sweden and then switching sides and joining the Coalition against Napoleon. While a good officer he was also incredibly selfish in when and where he would commit his forces leaving his Marshals (Davout at Auerstadt) or Allies (Blucher during the 1813 campaign) in the lurch. An interesting choice for the name of a Swedish ship.

@@davidwhitfield6025 He got a lot better reputation in Sweden. After all, Sweden ended up with Norway due to him. So while the Swedes wanted a warrior king, they got a skewed strategist. Which was close enough. And he was the start of Sweden's long-running peace.

@@Cythil Oh I know all that dear boy. But to the French, and in the 1813 campaign his allies the Prussians and Russians he did have a tendency of keeping his own Swedish Corps back out of harms way and letting his allies take all the risks and injuries until the outcome was certain. Very shrewd man but one I dare say few expected to have their back in a crisis.

@@davidwhitfield6025 Yep. But that do not change the fact that Swedes could very well have named a boat after him. ;) I mean, we have had several kings that when you look at them in detail, they're not really the most noble of characters. Just look at Vasa. Whose propaganda was so efficient that he is still today seen as the country's patriarch. (Though the flagship named after him is known to have suck shortly after lunch.)
