Brazil Aircraft Carrier Sao Paulo A12 - Sad Story of Latin America’s Only Carrier

A12 Sao Paulo is a Brazilian carrier. In September 2019, the Brazil's Ministry of Defense announced the start of the auction process for its retired carrier, the Sao Paulo, with bids starting at just almost one-tenth the amount which it paid to buy from France almost two decades ago.

Sao Paulo was officially decommissioned by Brazilians 3 years ago. The ship, formerly known as Foch, was the Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier of the French navy from 1963 to 2000. Brazil bought Foch in 2000 for $ 12 million and changed its name to Sao Paulo with the hull number A12 to replace the Minas Gerais aircraft carrier.

- The carrier Sao Paulo has a standard displacement of 24,200 tons and 32,800 tons at full load.
- The ship is 265m (869.42 ft) long, the beam is 31.7m (104 ft) and the draft is 8.6m (28.21 ft).
- The crew consists of 1,338 people, including 64 officers, this number can be raised for 2000 men.
