Amazonas Class OPV Port of Spain pictured at HMNB Portsmouth in March 2011....The Amazonas Class were originally named as the Port of Spain Class and built for the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard at BAE Systems Portsmouth. Then, despite two of the vessels having been completed at the time and awaiting delivery, and with crew training ongoing in the United Kingdom, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) cancelled the order in September 2010. These were subsequently purchased by the Brazilian Navy.
