Tamandaré (F200) is the lead ship of the Tamandaré-class stealth frigates under construction for the Brazilian Navy.

History

The program was created in 2017 with the main purpose of replacing the Niterói-class frigates in operation since 1975 and the Type 22s acquired second-hand from the UK in the 1990s.

The final configuration of armaments and sensors was announced in 10 June 2021. The boat is under construction by the Águas Azuis consortium composed by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, Embraer Defense & Security and the Ministry of Defence, at the Brazilian city of Itajaí since 24 March 2023.

The vessel was launched on 9 August 2024. It is the fourth vessel in the Brazilian Navy's history to be named after Admiral Joaquim Marques Lisboa, the Marquis of Tamandaré.
