Ocean has now been sold to Brazil for about £80 Million sans Vulcan Phalanx. Hand over in next months.
In a similar vein the Swan Hunter built Majestic class carrier Leviathan, yno 1703 launch 7 June 1945, was proposed for sale to Brazil in 1953 but never was, ultimately never completed and heavily cannibalised then scrapped Faslane 1968. Brazil duly acquired the Colossus class Vengeance, Swan Hunter yno 1699 launch 23 Feb 1944, in 1957 renamed Minas Gerais.
Thats all folks. Sean.
