Transportbåt Större (TpbS) – 200-båt The Transportbåt Större, popularly known as the 200-båt, is a iconic Swedish Navy coastal transport vessel. Used extensively during the 1970s and 1980s, this craft played a vital role in troop and materiel transport in littoral operations — and served as a landing craft for the elite Kustjägare (Swedish Coastal Rangers). This collector-grade model captures every defining feature of the original vessel, from its distinctive bow doors designed for amphibious landings to the three-digit hull numbers beginning with "2" that gave the boat its legendary name.
