The Brazilian submarine Tikuna will arrive at Norfolk Naval Station on Thursday, but not as part of OpSail festivities.
The Navy announced Monday that the Tikuna, a diesel-electric submarine with a crew of 43, will spend 11 days in Norfolk as part of a routine deployment to the East Coast. It’s the fourth Brazilian submarine visit here in recent years, part of a bilateral initiative between the U.S. and Brazilian submarine forces.
The Tikuna will participate in fleet antisubmarine warfare exercises during the three months it plans to be in the region.
