South African Navy participates in fleet review commemorating 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil by Keith Cambell Political analyst and journalist The South African Navy's hydrographic ship, SAS Protea, was one of 29 ships from eleven nations which participated in a fleet review in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, on 30 April 2000, as part of festivities to mark the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil. The Protea left the South African Navy's main base at Simonstown, south of Cape Town, on 14 April, arriving in Rio on 26 April. The captains of all the ships participating in the review were briefed on the morning of 28 April, on such matters as the route to be followed, the order of ships in the review, and so on. The review fleet included modern warships, naval auxiliaries, sail training ships, and replicas of 15th/ SAS Protea participating in the fleet review 16th century Portuguese vessels. Apart from South Africa, the foreign countries participating were the US, which sent a frigate, the UK, with a destroyer and tanker, Venezuela, with a frigate and a tank landing ship, Argentina, Spain and the Netherlands, each of which was represented by a frigate, Poland, whose representative was a training ship, Uruguay, with a sail training ship, and of course Portugal, which sent a couple of replica sailing vessels and its Navy's sail training ship, the Sagres. Apart from four sailing vessels ± three civilian and the Navy's new sail training ship Cisne Branco ± the Brazilian Navy contingent comprised one destroyer, five frigates, a corvette, a submarine, a tank landing ship, a survey ship, and a museum ship. In addition, nine helicopters participated in a fly-past. The review took the form of a sail past, with the ships in line-ahead formation and divided into two divisions. The first division comprised a Brazilian frigate (which was in the lead) followed by the eight sailing ships (or tall ships as they are nowadays called). Then there was the helicopter flypast, and finally the sail past of the modern naval vessels.The salute was taken by Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, from a review stand at the Escola Naval in Rio de Janeiro. Captain L D Reeder, commander of the Protea, reported that his crew had been proud to represent South Africa at the review and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Brazilian fragata Bosisio participating in the fleet review Brazilian submarine Tonelero passing the Escola Naval (Naval Academy) Brazil had been very good, and the fleet review had been a well-planned and auspicious occasion. The Protea's crew were also complemented on the appearance of their ship. While in Rio, the opportunity was taken by the ship's survey officers and ratings (enlisted men) to visit the Brazilian Navy's Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation. The Brazilians showed great interest in the SAN hydrographic service and, in return, freely answered the questions posed by the South Africans. The result was a better mutual understanding. The Protea's crew also interacted with crews from other participating nations, especially the Argentines, British and Dutch. The Protea left Rio on 3 May, arriving in Simonstown on 15 May. Advantage was taken of both transoceanic voyages to undertake training of junior officers and survey ratings. ISSN 0256±6060±Unisa Lat. Am. Rep. 16(2) 2000 73
