The L-50 is a mechanized landing craft used by the Swedish Navy and the Swedish coastal artillery from the 1950s to the 1980s.^[1] At that time the Swedish Costal Artillery was a separate military branch consisting of five regiments. During the 80-, 90-, and 2000's four of the regiments was closed down. The last one have been reorganized several times and are today called the 1st Marine Regiment (Amf 1) located in Berga.

Today the Coastal Rangers have replaced their old L-50 boats with Fast Attack Craft 90H.^[2]

The L-50 boats are rebuild for civilian purposes and are currently used by governments and private organizations throughout Scandinavia.
