Royal
Navy service
Brazen served on
the Armilla Patrol which became a taskforce during the Gulf War. For
this she received the battle honour "Kuwait 1991". During the war,
her Lynx helicopter attacked fast patrol boats.
Following a
patrol in the South Atlantic Brazen ran aground in the Patagonian
Canal on 11 September 1994. The ship was refloated four days later
and taken to Talcahuano for repairs, which lasted a month. She then
returned to the UK under her own power for reinstatement of combat
system equipment damaged in the incident.
Brazilian service
She was
purchased from the United Kingdom by the Brazilian Navy on 18
November 1994, and renamed Bosísio. The ship was commissioned into
the Brazilian Navy on 30 August 1996.
In June 2009,
Bosísio participated in the recovery mission for the wreckage of Air
France Flight 447.
She
decommissioned from Brazilian navy service on 23 September 2015.
