Corvette Was Decommissioned in 2016 by the Brazilian Navy and Will Be Used in the Mansup Missile Test Scheduled for Today

As Click Petróleo e Gás reported on June 10, the Brazilian Navy will decommission two escort ships due to the current low cost/benefit ratio of the vessels.
The two ships are the Niterói Frigate (F40) and the Jaceguaí Corvette (V31). As we informed in the same article, it is speculated that the Jaceguaí Corvette (V-31), built at the Navy Arsenal in Rio de Janeiro, will ultimately become a target for the MK.48 missile.

Today’s Target

However, the target this time is the Inhaúma Corvette (V-30), which was incorporated into the Fleet on December 12, 1989, and was decommissioned on November 25, 2016, and being the first, gave its name to the series. The information is that the sinking exercise of the vessel will take place today.

During the past week, it was possible to see the ship with orange and red paint docked at the Navy Arsenal, to be used as a live fire target by the Brazilian Navy.

According to information, the ship will be the target of the MANSUP (National Anti-Ship Missile of Surface) and also the heavy torpedo Mk.48, launched from a submarine.
The MANSUP launch will be from the Independência Frigate (F44), which is a “sea skimming” type flying close to the sea (at transonic speed), powered by a solid propellant rocket engine, with a maximum range of approximately 70km.

This is the third and final prototype of the missile and is part of the Navy’s weapon testing. In March, the Brazilian Navy had already conducted a launch.

The test at that time, conducted from the Independência Frigate, took place in an area near Cabo Frio, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro and was considered positive by the officers who participated in the launch, including the data collection for prototype improvement.
