The Storebro SB90E is a small craft developed by Swedish yacht designer Storebro Bruks AB. It was initially developed for the Swedish Navy, who designated it the Stridsbåt 90 E, the E being for Enkel (Swedish for "simple" (referring to single engine), i.e. less elaborate, full-featured and capable than its bigger, twin engined, brother, Combat Boat 90) - shortened to Strb 90 E. It was later rebranded as the Storebro SRC90E[nb 1] for international military export and it is now exclusively sold as SB90E for the civilian market. Their classification is YH, for ambulance boat.

History

[edit]

The SB90E was originally intended to be used as a medical evacuation vessel and simple insertion craft for the Swedish Amphibious Corps, with 60 ordered and 54 delivered; today only 5 remain in Swedish military service,[2] with the rest being scrapped, sold off or in the case of 7 vessels, donated to the civilian Swedish Sea Rescue Society (Svenska Sjöräddningssällskapet).[3][4]

One (formerly an ambulance boat from Oslo, Norway) is also in the private hands of British Entrepreneur Richard Noble for use as a pleasure craft.

In most cases the duties intended for the Strb 90 E have been taken over by the Strb 90 H.
