The Swedish military/Defence Ministry have been unusually quiet in explaining a June 2018 sighting of a mystery watercraft seen from the northern shore of Lidingo island (see red marker on map below) near Stockholm, the Swedish capital. Also towards the top-right corner of the map note how near Vaxholm is to Lindingo.
The SEAL Carrierhas surfaced and submerged modes. See the 2018 version of the SEAL Carrier performing at Youtube B below and possibly the actual Lidingo Seal Carrier at Youtube C below.
Why the Swedish military/Defence Ministry are quiet is because the SEAL Carrier is a covert weapon quietly used by Swedish Special Forces "SEALs" (could be) and is quietly marketed to foreign Special Forces overseas.
So the Swedish Defence Ministry and Armed Forces are correct in saying the SEAL Carrier is "not a foreign submarine".

The term “SEAL” was originally restricted to Special Forces Sea, Air, and Land (hence “SEAL” Teams) from the US Navy but now "SEAL" has wider application to Special Forces, from other countries, who operate in water.

Youtube A (below) is what the student (standing on the Lindingo shore) filmed - happening in the inlet north of him
- note 11 seconds in until 20 seconds in - are the bow waves of a fast approaching water craft on the surface. Don't worry about the commentary, which is unhelpfully in Swedish.

Note that the SEAL Carrier crew don't seem worried by a civilian boat filming them and there are no guardboats warding off these civilians.
