Ambassador Todd Chapman received President Jair Bolsonaro for a tour of the vessel, which stopped in Brazil to honor the launch of the Brazilian submarine BNS Humaitá (S41) to the sea
Rio de Janeiro, December 11, 2020 - Today, National Sailor Day, the North American fast attack submarine USS Vermont (SSN 792) made a brief stop at the Itaguaí Naval Complex, state of Rio de Janeiro, to celebrate the advances of the Brazilian Navy in the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB): the baptism and launch of the submarine Humaitá (S41) and the new stages of the submarine Tonelero (S42), all built locally. On the occasion, the US ambassador to Brazil, Todd Chapman, received President Jair Bolsonaro for a tour of the vessel, reaffirming the already close history of collaboration between countries in the military field.
For Ambassador Todd Chapman, the visit attests to the common commitment of the USA and Brazil in a partnership that contributes to strengthening the security of both countries, as well as the entire hemisphere. “I was pleased to see, first hand, with President Bolsonaro, the latest technology and capabilities of this vessel and to reiterate at the highest level of government our commitment to partnering with Brazil,” he said. Defense Minister Fernando Azevedo e Silva and Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, also accompanied the visit.
The USS Vermont is a Virginia-class fast-attack submarine, commissioned by the US in April this year, and the newest American submarine in operation. Operates in the operational area of the 4 th Fleet of the US Submarine Forces, which includes the Caribbean, Central America and South America. While on the Brazilian coast, the USS Vermont conducted anti-submarine warfare exercises with the Brazilian submarine Tupi (S30), maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. The joint maritime operations of the USA and Brazil build lasting partnerships with the aim of strengthening security and promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
Vice Admiral Daryl L. Caudle, commander of the US Submarine Forces, also present at the event, congratulated the Brazilian Navy for its progress: “PROSUB plays an important role in strengthening our bilateral ties and establishing regional security as a whole. We will continue to work together to achieve our common goals, aiming to improve our underwater effectiveness ”.
The crew and visitors of the submarine followed strict health protocols against Covid-19 during all activities related to the visit.
Great song too. I have actually watched the RNC convention from the WH several times for the music. I just thought that was one of the best things I have seen. True class in using the WH & the music.
