I think our most famous ship sank due to lack of maintenance

What is the story of your ship?

>upon achieving independence from Britain, we immediately built a navy and started to curbstomp (wavestomp?) pirates in the Mediterranean for our Eurobros
why do they despise us again?

The most beautiful ship in the world, the Amerigo Vespucci.

>USS Constitution
>USS Argus
>USS Intrepid
>USS Enterprise
>USS Scourge
>USS Siren
Say what you want about us, but we know how to name ships

Well it was simply the largest we had during that time
Stolen from the Spanish fleet, fought against the Texans and then during the war with (you) it started making a lot of water, made it to port only to slowly sink there

Here's another old ship of ours pre ww2

youtu.be/NlQPn3pRjVs

We need no water to sail!

Nice gunboat

Also nice song
Did Brazil use ships much beyond slave trafficking? I know your big war was the War of the Triple of Alliance, but that was inland, right?

We used to have the largest one at the time, bottom left in pic.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botafogo_(galleon)

>366 cannons when the next biggest one had ~80.
>Broke a thick-ass chain in Tunisia by just ramming at it.
>Literally called "firedropper"

So badass, the capitain changed it's name to it, and named a place in Brazil, still.

BAP Almirante Grau. She was the last gun cruiser in service in any navy before being decommissioned on 26 September 2017.

It was announced to appear as a ship girl in Kancolle on 2018's spring event.

The Dutch have loads of tall ships and you chose that? Lazy

don't worry, I expect this thread will be with dutchmen given enough time

Our current sailboat
ARM Cuauhtémoc
That's an impressive ship Peru

>this triggers the Brit/Irish/Frenchman

Polish navy training ship Dar Młodzieży I've been on and raced against. Fast fucker for the size

on the topic of vikings, here's the Sutton Hoo ship excavation in Suffolk England, which unearthed a load of Anglo-Saxon treasures

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Riachuelo
The Plate river is quite big and is a strategic point in SA but since we're not fighting any time soon we don't have any reason to develop a strong brown water tradition
The same is true for the Amazon

>CSS Little Rebel

>Spitfire
didn't know that you beat the British to the name
youtu.be/aQZDbBGBJsM

That's called The Blue Amazon, during the course of our entire history we've been protecting it from british pirates and japanese whalers.

We unironically used to be a big deal.

Didn't end up so well, but we had fun for a while.

...

why does dutch always have cool stuff
:(

>and japanese whalers.
so Brazil's relationship with Japan isn't entirely positive (Japanese immigrants)?

makes sense that Britain would honor you since you're one of their closest allies

this is my countries first and best naval ship

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Map
Why is an american defending Perfidious Albion?

It's very cute Kazakhstan, good job.

We nuked Japan but they consider us their closest ally

she is the terror of the caspian sea

The sloop USS Kearsarge, which fought and sunk the rebel cruiser CSS Alabama off Cherbourg in 1864 during our civil war.

World's largest warship in its time until it sank after the Battle of Trafalgar and one of the few four-decker ships of the line ever built.
She bore the most guns of any ship of the line outfitted in the Age of Sail.

But you fucked them before (kinda)helping them
The UK made a lot of promises to the portuguese just to fuck them when they needed help the most

you're probably right, I don't know much beyond the major british-portuguese events

>today I can buy this shitty low-class rum
Thanks Horatio Nelson

That's not how alliances work.

Luso-English alliance came to be out of interest, not love or any other romantic idea.

Portugal needed help in land defense because of its size, Britain needed a place to sell stuff into the continent while France was PMSing. Plus, neither wanted to fall into the hands of France/Spain.

Everything after that was just gravy. It's not like England fucked Portugal over either, they were just playing to their interests. England always had the potential to be the world leader (geographically isolated, large population, seafaring country in a seafaring world), so they gained more in absolute from the alliance, they got the hand to go for first place. Portugal was never in contention for first place, but we did gain more from the alliance relative to what we would've been without it: another province in Spain. But these helps were in punctual cases, it's not like Portugal and England were sharing anything meaningful between Spanish/French invasions.

So Britain secured its first place with our help, and we secured someone else's 5th or 6th after Spain and France despite starting in the amateur league.

Portuguese/English alliance served its purposes: Portugal is not part of Spain, England is not part of France, England never attacked Portuguese soil.

Anything beyond that is shitty romanticisms.

The pink map was a meme, because not even in 1974 we had any meaningful control of eastern Angola, so it was a delusion of grandeur from a King that refused to accept his empire was waning. Neither had England, but at least they had the means to do it if it needed, we didn't.

It's Chinese, i never heard japs coming all the way here for whaling, i know that the Argies sank a Chinese ship a few years ago.

Why did Portugal set up trading posts primarily, instead of full-on colonizing? At least from an American perspective it seems to me that the colonies that actually dumped people/convicts/whomever were ultimately more successful simply due to having more Westerners living there. I guess Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau might be exceptions, but they don't belong to us anymore.

France seems to have had the same problem, in which they didn't send anyone to live in New France (where I currently live), so they just trapped beavers and otters and such. Then they sold the land to British/Americans/etc.

Peral Submarine
>first electric battery-powered submarine
>first fully capable military submarine
>She had one torpedo tube (and two torpedoes)
>had an air regeneration system
>Her hull shape, propeller, and cruciform external controls anticipated later designs
>With fully charged batteries, she was the fastest submarine yet built, with underwater performance levels (except for range) that matched those of First World War U-boats
>first submarine to incorporate a fully reliable underwater navigation system
>However, conservatives in the Spanish naval hierarchy terminated the project despite two years of successful tests
>10 years later the spanish american war would begin
fml

>10 years later the spanish american war would begin
never trust american media

spanish-american war was a black mark on our history, and on capitalism

>Why did Portugal set up trading posts primarily, instead of full-on colonizing?
Not enough people. At the height of our empire we had 2m Portuguese people. It's simply not doable.

We had enough people for one land army, and once it was defeated (Alcácer Quibir), we had nothing, and everything after it was trying not to fall as fast.

Portugal was a glass cannon, whose only advantage was its geographical position and unified people (we're virtually homogeneous with no meaningful ethnical/national subdivisions)

Hmmm, thanks for the history pal

Good times

welke film is dit?

The portuguese never had enough resources and manpower.
At the time of independence Brazil had more resources and a better strategic position than the mainland which is why Rio became the capital in the first place

The pink map was stopped so this could be drawn

Michiel de Ruyter, or Admiral in English

Shit acting but some great cinematography and vfx

L'Hermione

thanks pal

*SCHOOTER-BEAT INTENSIFIES*

either this one or that kon-tiki "ship"

...

o que aconteceu?

The Battle of Riachuelo. When Paraguay basically lost all the terrain it had gained at the begining of the war and the Allies started to counter attack

teve uma briga na arquibancada num jogo Brasil-Argentina, uma coisa leva a outra... nós exterminamos 75% da população paraguai.
Dom Pedro nem imaginava que Domitilia estava o traindo.

>naval tradition

Buying decades old leaking submarines

Gerald Ford, our current aircraft carrier lead

...

Hermione, one of Lafayette's ships that brought soldier to the US for the independance war and fought there.

It's a replica, though, built with crowdfunding.

...

>It's a replica, though, built with crowdfunding.
Did Americans at least donate?

>one day an USS Donald Trump will sail the seas, delivering freedom to shitholes countries

poetry

...

I'm honored you would consider our continent worthy of naming a ship after the explorer

>While sailing in the Mediterranean sea, in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Italian Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking "Who are you?" The full rigged ship answered, "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." The US ship replied "You are the most beautiful ship in the world."

probably

I said crowdfunding, but I think the bigger part came from visitors who visited the dry dock where it was built.

Fragata A.R.A Libertad

I like youtube channels like Primitive Technology youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA but I really wish I knew of one that was for shipbuilding

funny how rums gets better as maritime rank decreases
Admiral Nelson < Captain Morgan < Sailor Jerry

cute boat :3

if you're interested in this, you should check "Guédelon". Just like the Hermione, it's a project to build a medieval castle from scratch using only medieval technics (apart from the mandatory security gear and facilities).

You can find a lot of stuff about it on youtube, in all languages.

This one is owned by the Province of Utrecht
Other reconstructions are de Amsterdam, Prins Willem (burnt), de Delft (under construction), de Zeven Provinciën (under construction)

>be on submarine couple years ago
>submerged
>get the all clear to surface, theres nothing on sonar
>surface
>this fucking ship is literall almost have to emergency dive
>instead just sit there and watch it for a few minutes, in the middle of the ocean

lmao god damn it, I love you Denmark

to clear something up, sailing boats/ships are incredibly quiet on sonar becuase of their lack of engine. That's why we didnt expect anything to be above us
