Örlogsbasen Karlskrona och dess försvar från 1600-talet till kalla krigets slut
Fredrikarna Eriksson och Thisner samtalar om hur försvaret av örlogsbasen i Karlskrona har planerats sedan dess skapande 1680 och till vår tid. Kustartilleri och minspärr är i fokus, liksom hur allt detta samordnades i system. De två kollegorna diskuterar begreppet "återbruk" i kustartllerisammanhang, och utgjuter bittra sorgetårar över avskrivna pansarbåtar.
