Corvette of the Barroso Class Had Propulsion System Commissioned After Extensive Maintenance; Operational Resumption Marks Joint Effort of the Brazilian Navy.

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.

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.
