A importância do material no preparo do poder naval brasileiro

Abstract

Brazil is a young and powerful country that has been trying to gain a more positive foothold in an international context. Its growing leadership, which is the result of a great effort being made to overcome all kinds of problems, both internal ones and those regarding its overseas policy, will possibly go against the interests of other nations. Guaranteeing these interests and defending its sovereignty can only be achieved if Brazil maintains its National Power, with emphases on military expression that is compatible with its political-strategic stature. The recent growth in the maritime area with regard to responsibility for Brazil, which was supported in the resolutions made by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, international commerce that is almost entirely carried out by sea as well as the enormous wealth that the coast of Brazil possesses, shows the need for a Naval Power that is up-to-date and of a suitable size. This work will allow the reader to perceive the real need for countries to possess Naval Power that inspires credibility and that effectively backs up national interests and aspirations and to get to know the current situation of Brazilian Naval Power and also to present suggestions that can contribute to its performance in the territorial waters of Brazil.
