Looking over the area, it appears the Swedish Navy is out on manuevers. Or this may be a coincidence.
A - Two Goteborg class Corvettes are in close proximity.
B - A large cargo type plane is flying nearby.
C - Another Goteborg class ship just left port.

One of four Corvettes

I don't know whether or not they're on manoeuvres, but that is a dang cool post you did.

firefly, a C 130 has 4 engines  ...not sure what this is then!
Just checked an old reference book and it seems to be a Transall C 160 although there are a couple other ones that fit the profile, but the Transall seems the most likely.

It´s not two Göteborg class you see in the south, it´s two Stockholm klass corvettes.
They are 50 meters long and the Göteborg class is 57 meters long.
I used to serve on the Stockholm class in 1997.

The engine of a Fokker 50 extends _behind_ the wing. A CASA 212 operated by the Swedish Coast Guard is a possibility.

I believe you are right. Looking closer a Casa is most probable.
