Commission Established in March by the Brazilian Navy Aims to Conduct a Study to Choose Vessels and Make Purchases by 2025

In addition to the construction of the Tamandaré class corvettes (CCT’s) that later underwent an upgrade and became Tamandaré Class Ships (NCT’s) that the Oceana shipyard in Itajaí will build, the Brazilian Navy continues to consider replacements in its surface ship fleet.
The so-called “opportunistic purchases” are being identified by a commission that is examining the possibility of acquiring six to eight second-hand frigates and destroyers from the naval forces of countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States.

The PROSUPER

The Surface Means Acquisition Program was launched at the end of the 2000s and aimed to construct five heavy frigates in the country, in the range of 6,000 tons, but it ended up not progressing and was frozen in 2015 during Dilma Rousseff’s government.

Commission’s Action

The commission has up to a year to identify which second-hand ships meet the required characteristics, as well as availability timelines, renovations, and, of course, pricing.
The amount to be reserved for the investment is estimated to be around 800 million to 1 billion dollars, but it will depend heavily on calculations to be equated.

What is known so far is that from the Australian Navy, eight ANZAC frigates, weighing 3,600 tons, are being studied for decommissioning in 2024; from Japan, there are nine Murasame class destroyers (6,200 tons fully loaded); from the U.S. Navy, there will be four guided missile destroyers; and from the Canadian Navy, 12 Halifax class frigates, weighing 4,770 tons.

It’s worth noting that the Oceana Shipyard will be delivering the first of four vessels in 2024, but this is just the initial schedule, and all resources for its construction are contingent upon the federal government.

Oceana reported that it will need 9 months from the contract signing to gather the material and human resources to cut the first sheet, which means an expected month of October 2020.
Until the ship is launched, the shipyard will need an additional two years, and for the delivery to the Brazilian Navy, another two years for completion and testing.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

A doctor from Minas Gerais warns that sleeping with the fan pointed at the body all night is not as harmless as you think; it dries out the respiratory tract, causes mucus buildup, spreads dust mites, and can even irritate the cornea of the eyes.

Coal mine purchased for $2 million in Wyoming, the Brook Mine holds rare earth elements and critical minerals estimated at up to $37 billion, in an asset that the US is competing for with China.

Ecuadorian volcano at 6,268 meters is more than 2,000 meters closer to space than Everest, which is 8,848 meters, because the Earth is wider at the equator.

To halt the advance of the Sahara, the 8,000 km Great Green Wall in the Sahel relies on reforestation to combat desertification, but by 2026 it remains far behind the goal of 100 million hectares.

Brazilian siblings aged 11 and 7 read 240 books in just one year and caught attention on social media: while many children spend hours on screens, they turned their family’s routine into an example of reading, discipline, and curiosity.

The legendary oak that, according to the story, hid Robin Hood from the Sheriff of Nottingham, died at the impressive age of 1,200 years in England, and the first chilling sign of its end was that no leaves sprouted on the tree this spring.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.

The future of computers may change sooner than expected: Amazon bets on commercial quantum computing within seven years, while qubits, the Ocelot chip, AI, and scientific simulations take center stage in the new race among big techs.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still draws attention in the used car market.
