Gustavus Adolphus had approved all measurements and armaments, and the ship was built according to the instructions and loaded with the number of guns specified. Vasa was armed with powerful guns and built with a high stern, which would act as a firing platform in boarding actions for some of the 300 soldiers it was supposed to carry, but the high-sided hull and narrow upper deck were not optimised for boarding. However, Vasa was dangerously unstable, with too much weight in the upper structure of the hull. Almost all of the iron on the ship rusted away within a few years of the sinking, and only large objects, such as anchors, or items made of cast iron, such as cannonballs, survived. There has been much speculation about whether Vasa was lengthened during construction and whether an additional gun deck was added late during the build.

The ship was salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961. At the same time the king's subordinates lacked the political courage to openly discuss the ship's problems or to have the maiden voyage postponed. The were cast off, and the ship slowly as the gust passed. Although Vasa was in surprisingly good condition after 333 years at the bottom of the sea, it would have quickly deteriorated if the hull had been simply allowed to dry. The gun ports were closed by means of temporary lids, a temporary replacement of the collapsed sterncastle was constructed, and many of the holes from the iron bolts that had rusted away were plugged. For this reason, the gunport lids are made with a double lip which is designed to seal well enough to keep out most of the water.
The final lift began on 8 April 1961, and on the morning of 24 April, Vasa was ready to return to the world for the first time in 333 years. Sweden was embroiled in a , and looked apprehensively at the development of the in present-day Germany. To slow the destruction by acidic compounds, different methods have been tried.

Crewmen and contractors formed two camps; each tried to blame the other, and everyone swore he had done his duty without fault and it was during the inquest that the details of the stability demonstration were revealed.
The parts of the hull held together by joinery and wooden treenails remained intact for as much as two centuries, suffering gradual erosion of surfaces exposed to the water, unless they were disturbed by outside forces. Each of the surviving officers was questioned as was the supervising shipwright and a number of expert witnesses. To deal with the problem of the inevitable deterioration of the ship, the main hall of the Vasa Museum is kept at a temperature of 18â20 °C 64â68 °F and a humidity level of 53%. On the transom are biblical and nationalistic symbols and images. Naval gunnery in the 17th century was still in its infancy. The decks below were progressively less disturbed.

In late 2011, a third Vasa-film premiered on Swedish television, with a longer running time and a considerably larger budget with over 7. Swedish historians have described this as one of the more extreme examples of an early modern state using almost all of its available resources to wage war; the small northern kingdom transformed itself into a and one of the most militarised states in history. During the 17th century, Sweden went from being a sparsely populated, poor, and peripheral northern European kingdom of little influence to one of the in continental politics. The reason that the ship has such a high centre of gravity is not due to the guns.

The figure of appears as a pair of pendants, one younger and one older, on each side of the lower stern galleries; the pendants depict opposite aspects of the ancient hero, who was extremely popular during antiquity as well as in 17th-century European art.
