Former flagship of the French Navy, the aircraft carrier Foch , renamed São Paulo in 2000 when it took on the Brazilian flag, wanders the sea in search of a haven of refuge, under the risk of ending its days at the bottom of the ocean. The Brazilian Navy announced on Friday (20) that it is mooring its old hull, full of asbestos , paint and other toxic waste, at a point in the Atlantic Ocean 315 kilometers from the Brazilian coast , to prevent the ship from drifting.
