Brazilian Navy Plans to Deploy 5 Conventional Submarines

In total, there are plans for five conventional submarines, battery-powered and recharged by diesel engines, and one other Humaitá powered by nuclear propulsion.

Following the current plan, Brazil will have a Humaitá with nuclear propulsion, which has been named Álvaro Alberto, for 2033, thus in honor of the admiral and great supporter of the Brazilian Navy’s nuclear program, and also the first president of the current CNPq. The start of the construction of the submarine is scheduled for the second half of 2022.
