HMS Aspö (M63) was a minesweeper that was sold in 1991. The vessel eventually ran aground at Alholmsudd in the northern part of Stora Värtan during the late 1990s. The wreck was recorded in a notice from 1999 as part of the annual register of information for shipping.
In 2006, attempts were made to contact the owner of the wreck to arrange for its removal, but the owner could not be reached. The vessel sustained further damage on February 25, 2013, when parts above the water surface caught fire.
As of 2026, the wreck remains in the same location. It continues to decay as the years pass.
