"2028 substituição do Bérrio"!!! Tou pra ver o Bérrio a chegar lá por um canudo!!
Só prova que os políticos nos mentem diariamente. Com que então a substituição do Bérrio só em 2028, daqui a nove anos para um navio que hoje tem cinquenta anos, é esticar a corda em demasia, demonstra bem a consideração que os políticos tem pelos militares !!
Navios a serem substituídos quando tem sessenta anos, nem nos países mais pobres do mundo se exige tanto dos seus meios militares !!
este artigo da Janes, mencionava que a substituição do Bérrio seria entre 2020 e 2022, mais uma
mentirinha de uma alta chefia militar, por acaso não é o actual CEMA ??
Então se o navio é uma das maiores prioridades da Marinha, ainda se vai esperar mais nove anos para tal substituição

Alongside the continuation of the OPV project,
the Portuguese Navy's other top priority is the acquisition of a new auxiliary replenishment oiler (AOR) to replace its in-service AOR, NRP Berrio. The AOR was originally commissioned into service with the UK Royal Navy (RN) in 1970 and then purchased from the UK's Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) in March 1993.
"We have begun studies regarding the new tanker, with the possibility of replacing Berrio in the 2021/2022 timeframe," Vice Adm Mendes Calado said.With various European navies currently replacing AORs under fleet renewal programmes, the Portuguese Navy is also looking for opportunities to join a construction programme, "which could give us gains of scale and synergies in terms of future support of those ships", Vice Adm Mendes Calado said. With this in mind, the navy has been in discussions with the RN, as well as the German, Dutch, and Spanish navies. "We've been speaking with each other, trying to find out which programmes they will carry on in the future, and we'll look for opportunities to join one of those programmes."
The acquisition of a second-hand ship is also an option, "although our aspiration is really for a new tanker," he said. "The procurement law will be reviewed next year and we will try to increase the funding for this programme to facilitate the decision-making around the tanker acquisition."
Requirements will be broadly based around a ship displacing around 15,000-16,000 tonnes, with a small crew, a helicopter deck, and some support to enable the projection of marines for special operations. Abraços
