Before the war the Swedish Navy considered to modernize her fleet with newer built warships and thus designs were born but before anyone could be ordered the war make these ships never realized.
1934/36: Coastal battleship design probably would be called Viking, 4 ships planned and construction would be started in 1939 but suspended as the war broke out.
Data: 7-8000tons displacement 2x2 254mm Guns 2x3 120mm Guns 4x2 40mm AA and armour of 50mm Deck 254mm Belt.

Based on this design a Heavy cruiser for Chile with 9000tons, 3x2 200mm Guns 4x 40mm AA and 2x3 533mm Torpedoes with 127mm Belt armour was proposed too.
There was a proposal from the famous Ansaldo, again a coastal battleship in 1941: 17000tons, 3x2 280mm Guns, 4x2 120mm Guns, 5x2 57mm AA, 2x2 40mm AA, 6x1 20mm AA, 120mm Deck, 200mm Belt Armour. The navy deemed it too big and heavy and started to center around a lighter Navy, of light cruisers from which the Tre Kronor were born.
Armoured Destroyer / Torpedo Light Crusier design from 1944: 4800tons 3x2 152mm Guns, 6x2 40mm AA, 5x2 25mm AA, 2x3 533mm Torpedoes

Coastal warship design from 1945: 13900tons, 2x3 210mm Guns, 2x2 120mm Guns, 12x1 57mm AA, 10x2 25mm AA, 120mm Deck 300mm Belt Armour

In parallel with the above Coastal battleship design a Monitor were born too: 10200tons 1x3 210mm Guns, 8x2 57mm AA, they would be to replace the mobile coastal artilleries of the army.

I know most of these designs are post 1936 but they are interesting designs.
