Parnaiba patrols Brazil’s rivers for 80 years

“Brazil commissioned the 720-ton, 180-foot-long Parnaiba into service in 1938.

“She first launched in 1937, which makes her more than 81 years old. An armed river monitor, she is often cited as one of the oldest active warships in the world — not including certain historic vessels such as the USS Constitution, which serves as heritage and museum ship.”
