Transfer To Brazil
Early in the 1950s, St. Louis was designated for transfer to the government of Brazil. Her name was struck from the Navy List on 22 January 1951, and on the 29th, she was commissioned in the Brazilian Navy as Tamandare (C-12).
Tamandare was stricken from the Brazilian Navy in 1976. Sold to breakers four years later, she sank on 24 August 1980 in South Africa, near Cape of Good Hope (38°48′S 01°24′W / 38.8°S 1.4°W / -38.8; -1.4Coordinates: 38°48′S 01°24′W / 38.8°S 1.4°W / -38.8; -1.4) while under tow to Taiwan.

Famous quotes containing the word transfer:
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
