This amphibious helicopter carrier made history in Africa by becoming the first and only African country to have a helicopter carrier. Originally the ship was built for the Russian Navy, primarily by France and with help from Russia. After Russia entered war with Ukraine, the global community put pressure on France about the sales and France cancelled the contract. As a form of compensation, the deal was offered to the Egyptian Navy who were interested in buying the ship.

The 154-crew Corvette ship found its home in the Brazilian Navy and has been active since 2008. One of the notable operations this ship took part in was the rescue of some 220 Syrian refugees that were in a sinking vessel in the Mediterranean Sea. There are rumors that a copy of this ship will be built for the central African country of Equatorial Guinea.
