On May 14, the Brazilian Navy took a decisive step to strengthen the Fleet’s readiness with the commissioning of the new engines of the Barroso Corvette (V 34). The technical ceremony marks the completion of a critical stage in the process of returning the vessel to full operational capacity, following its General Maintenance Period. The activity was conducted by the Industrial Directorate of the Navy and the Naval Engineering Directorate, with technical support from the Navy Arsenal of Rio de Janeiro.

New Operational Phase of the Barroso Corvette

The commissioning aimed primarily to test the performance of the propulsion systems and other essential equipment for navigation and military operation.

With the new engines installed and approved, the Barroso Corvette is ready to return to sea, reinforcing its mission to protect national maritime interests.

Designed by the Naval Engineering Directorate and built in Brazil, at the Navy Arsenal of Rio de Janeiro, the Barroso Corvette is considered a milestone of the national military naval industry.

The ship is the fifth to bear this name in honor of Admiral Francisco Manuel Barroso da Silva, the Baron of Amazonas.

With hull number 126, the vessel had its keel laid on December 21, 1994, and was launched on December 20, 2002, in a ceremony attended by the then Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Marco Antônio de Oliveira Maciel.

The Corvette was officially incorporated into the Brazilian Navy on August 19, 2008.

Highlight in International Missions and Strategic Defense

The Barroso Corvette (V 34) has a significant history in international operations, having served as the Flagship of the Maritime Task Force of UNIFIL in Lebanon.

Its versatility allows it to locate and neutralize aerial, naval, and underwater threats, in addition to performing patrols in territorial waters.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

What seemed like waste has turned into a barrier, and now human hair collected from salons helps retain debris in the water of ancestral channels in Latin America.

Health issues urgent alert for flu and calls for the vaccination of the elderly, children, and pregnant women this Saturday with Day D and drive-thru in Curitiba.

The radio has been in more than half of Brazilian households for decades, and in 2024, for the first time in history, the number of households without a device surpassed those with a device, with a decrease of 2.3 million in just one year.

China banned the export of 22 tons of meat from Argentina.

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.

Scientists have captured something never seen in space: newly born stars are creating gigantic rings of light a thousand times larger than the distance between the Earth and the Sun, and this changes everything we knew about stellar birth.
