List of historical ships of the Brazilian Navy

This list includes all historical Brazilian Navy ships from both the Empire of Brazil and subsequent Republican period, that have been in service in the history of the Brazilian Navy and have been retired. Many of them have taken part in the War of Independence, Cisplatine War, Paraguayan War, Naval Revolt, and all major battles and conflicts as part of the Brazilian Armed Forces. For active ships refer to the list. Many ships are named after famous Brazilian military officers such as Joaquim Marques Lisboa. The United States and United States Navy have been the biggest suppliers to the Brazilian Navy since World War Two in the Republic era. Although during the Imperial Era and the Republic Era, Brazil sourced its ships from domestic shipyards, many ships were also built in Portugal, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.
