The Brazilian Navy frigate BNS Independencia arrives in Cape Town harbour on 29 April to refuel before heading round the peninsular to Simon’s Town naval Base. This past weekend the ship returned to ‘show the flag’, together with her sister frigate BNS Defensora, two Indian Navy vessels and two South African Navy frigates. The ships were on display and open to the public at the V&A Waterfront but have since sailed for naval exercises off the Cape coast. Picture by Ian Shiffman
