The sign depicts an almost nude sailor, and an inscription "Welcome to Sweden, gay since 1944" and broadcasts the message "This way if your are gay" in morse code by using a sonar emitter.

The sign was put in place in April 2015 and there have been no reports of russian sumbarine activity in the territorial waters of Sweden ever since, with the last publicly known incident taking place in October 2014, about 6 months before the sign was installed.
