The New Helicopter Carrier PHM Atlântico (A 140) of the Brazilian Navy Arrived in Its Hometown in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, After a 25-Day Journey from Plymouth, United Kingdom.

The former Royal Navy ship (ex-HMS Ocean) was refurbished in Plymouth before the Brazilian crew underwent Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST) prior to its journey to Brazil, which began on August 1.

The Atlântico made a stop in Lisbon, Portugal, before the start of its transatlantic journey. On August 23, the ship received the first Brazilian aircraft on board, with UH-15 Super Cougar, SH-16 Seahawk, and Bell Jet Ranger helicopters landed on the flight deck.

Brazil purchased the 202-meter ship from the Royal Navy for a price of £84 million. HMS Ocean was officially decommissioned from Royal Navy service on March 27, 2018, after 20 years of service.
