Together with its sister ship HSwMS Gävle, HSwMS Sundsvall took part in the United Nations operation off the coast of Lebanon following the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.[2]
The ship was modified between 2018 and 2022 and returned to active service in December 2022; the class was renamed the Gävle class. The modification included new modern sensors, a new command bridge. The aft 40mm canon was removed and replaced by a new deckhouse.[3]
