Oliveira
e Carmo was a Baptista de Andrade class corvette built in
Spain for the Portuguese Navy, and was launched in
February 1974. She was built for service in the colonies
but after the decolonization in the 1970's she was
assigned as a patrol boat in Portuguese waters. She was
stricken from the navy lists in 1999. In the mid 2000's it
was decided to sink her as an artificial reef as part of
the Ocean Revival Project in Portimao Park. After being
rigged down and prepared, she was scuttled outside Algarve
30. October 2012. A storm broke the wreck in two, and she
rest today in two parts on a depth of 16 to 32 meter.
