Brazilian Navy Commissions Second S-BR Submarine / Humaitá (S 41) was formally signed over to the navy and commissioned during a 12 January ‘Cerimônia de Mostra de Armamento’ event at the Base de Submarinos da Ilha da Madeira (BSIM) in Itaguaí. The Riachuelo class (also known as S-BR) is a customized variant of the generic Scorpène design developed by France’s Naval Group.
The Brazilian government concluded detailed contractual terms with Naval Group in September 2009. The original scope of supply, involving eight separate contracts, encompassed three main components: a transfer of technology package for the in-country build of the four Scorpène S-BR boats; design and manufacturing services related to the non-nuclear elements of Brazil’s first SCPN (Submarino Convencionalmente Armado com Propulsão Nuclear) nuclear-powered submarine; and support for the design and construction of a new submarine build facility and naval base in Itaguaí.
