I saw here that the Brazilian Ministry of Defense and the Brazilian Navy confirmed that they are going to sink the aircraft carrier São Paulo in an area 350 km from the Brazilian coast where it has a depth of 5 thousand meters. The most interesting thing is that before this decision, a Saudi Arabian company offered US$5.6 million to buy retired aircraft carriers.

With regard to the ecological disaster, officially, the scrap at the São Paulo NAe today contains 9.6 tons of asbestos, in addition to 644.7 tons of heavy metals in paint, 3.4 tons of substances that destroy the ozone layer and 10,000 light bulbs. fluorescent with mercury. This is what the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) says, a document commissioned by Sök and prepared by the Norwegian company Grieg Green.
