Brazilian Navy's PHM Atlantico takes centre stage

摘要

Since the Brazilian Navy formally decommissioned the aircraft carrier NAe Sao Paulo (A 12) on 22 November 2018, PHM Atlantico (A 140), a multipurpose amphibious helicopter carrier, has assumed the service's flagship role. The purchase of PHM Atlantico enabled the Brazilian Navy to restore its amphibious aviation capability, the ship's commander, Captain Giovani Correa, told Jane's. The ship is to carry out various roles such as amphibious assault, troop and equipment transport, humanitarian aid, command-and-con-trol, and more.
