End of the line for Brazil’s carrier
Citat:The Brazilian Navy’s sole aircraft carrier, the only vessel of its type in Latin American service, is to be decommissioned, according to a statement from the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.
NAe São Paulo (A12), which originally served the French Navy as Foch, is now considered a low priority for the Brazilian Navy, which says it will no longer go to sea.
According to a statement from the Directorate of Communications and Information Technology of the Navy, ‘After several attempts to recover the operational capacity of the São Paulo, the Admiralty concluded that a modernization program would require high financial investment, contain technical uncertainties and would require a long completion period.’
Instead, the Navy has decided to decommission the carrier over the next three years.
‘A program to obtain a new aircraft and aircraft carrier package will occupy the Navy’s third acquisition priority’, the statement continued. Instead, priority turns to the nuclear submarine program and the Tamandaré corvette construction program.
