Line 54: The [[Brazilian Navy]] operates six coastal [[minesweepers]] of the '''''Aratu'' class'''. == ~~History~~Design == Built in Germany in the 1970s by yacht-makers Abeking & Rasmussen, the wooden-hulled vessels are immune to [[Magnetic mine\|magnetically-triggered]] mines. They conduct missions through magnetic, mechanical and acoustic means. Two shafts are powered by four Maybach [[diesel engine]]s which produce 4,500 BHP, allowing the vessels to reach speeds of 24 knots. They are fitted with a single 40mm 70-caliber [[Bofors]] [[anti-aircraft]] gun. == History == ==Ships==
