It was a French warship. A Brazilian/Turkish company was just going to decommission and recycle it. The Brazilian navy only got involved now that they have to scuttle it since no port will accept it for disassembly.

Uh, no, it was purchased by Brazil in 2000 and spent 18 years in commission with the Brazilian Navy. It's definitely the Brazilian Navy's problem.
