        There's a Portugese frigate tied up at Sir John Rogerson's Quay in Dublin.

          Who says germans have no sense of humor

          Well here they are,the Flotilla mentioned above. Interesting design. Both types of minesweeper have an aft working deck covered completly in rubber work mats. Armed with 40mm guns. Exceptionally small though. Looked more like a fast patrol boat than a Minehunter.

                        From Seascapes:

                        The first BRAZILIAN Navy Ship to visit Ireland will arrive in Dublin on Tuesday (yesterday). She's due to pass through the East Link Bridge in mid-morning at berth at Sir John Rogerson's Quay

                          From www.military.ie
                          Citizens of Dun Laoghaire awoke to the thunderous roar of a ships cannon being fired at sea recently. They had nothing to fear however, as it was the Brazilian Navy's Training ship "Brasil", firing a 21 gun salute before it entered Dublin Harbour. Gunners of the 2 Field Artillery Regiment returned the salute using Quick Fire 12 Pounder Guns.

                          The Brasil, which is on its annual training voyage for Midshipmen from the Brazilian Naval Academy, visited Dublin from the 3rd to the 7th of August.

                                There is another 12 Pounder saluting battery in Cork,though I have not seen it used in some time.
