Ex-Holger Dane and MS Wildrake, in 1988, she was acquired by the Brazilian Navy from the Norwegian company A / S Sentinel Offshore to replace the ship NSS Gastão Moutinho (K-10) in the tasks of rescuing personnel, saving material and supporting deep diving.
The Holger Dane was famous for the treasure hunt promoted by Henning H. Fadderbøll in the English Channel, where the hull of the English ship “Medina” was found full of Indian works of art.

Anchoring at four irons on the EDVM, after 12 hours of intense work by divers and the entire crew, the vessel was moved by the towing cable and brought to the surface by the ship's crane.
