Naval TodayQuote: Ex HMS Ocean receives Brazilian pennant number
Former Royal Navy helicopter carrier HMS Ocean has received a new pennant number as the ship prepares to start a journey to her new home in Brazil.
The new pennant number was painted onto the ship’s hull last weekend at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Devonport where it is being prepared for delivery to the Brazilian Navy.
Once in Brazilian Navy service, the ship will be known as PHM Atlântico (A 140).
Brazil bought the retired HMS Ocean earlier this year for a reported price of £84 million.
HMS Ocean was officially decommissioned from Royal Navy service in a ceremony attended by Queen Elizabeth, who is the ship’s lady sponsor, on March 27.

After all, it's been a little over a hundred years since Turkey bought a ship from the Brits that was originally going to Brazil, and that all worked out very well.

UK Defence JournalQuote: HMS Ocean may be renamed NAe Minas Gerais as interest from Brazil deepens By George Allison - September 1, 2017
The purchase of HMS Ocean by the Brazilian Navy still has a few hurdles to overcome but they’ve already picked out a name.
We understand from Roberto Lopes via e-mail, the source who let us know that Brazil has already submitted a payment plan for the vessel, that the officers involved in the ship acquisition process are optimistic and are already discussing details beyond the technical and financial assessments that have been made, such as the name of the ship.

The article, found here, claims that Brazilian officials believe that the price seemed “reasonable” and the Brazilian Navy are examining the prospect “with cautious optimism”.
