Novo Brasil’s faltering economy prevented it rom meeting t e sc e u e o payments to Novaya Rossiya and bickering over these payments materially contributed to souring re ations etween t e two countries.

Its weapons can easily handle the gunboats ome convoys carry for defense, while its en urance s ou permit it to eva e heavier opponents. With the end of the São Paulo’s service life near, analysts expect Novo Brasi to rep ace it wit a made-to-order modication of a Kuan Yin hull.
