<p>200.163.100.123: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|AC4|ACP|4book}}<br /> {{WP-REAL}}<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> The '''Portuguese Navy''' (Portuguese: ''Marinha Portuguesa'') is the naval branch of the Portuguese Armed Forces.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> During the early 18th century, the Portuguese Navy's principal aim was the protection of [[Portugal]]'s colonial possessions and trade routes. One of the [[ships]] tasked to protect trade routes was the legendary ''[[Princesa do Céu]]''. The [[Man O' War]] protected [[Merchants|merchant]] ships until it was eventually sunk by the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Alonzo Batilla]].&lt;ref&gt;''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1719, a group of Portuguese stationed in [[Príncipe]] secured an alliance with the [[Templars]] [[John Cockram]] and [[Josiah Burgess]], who were out to capture [[Bartholomew Roberts]], a [[Sages|Sage]]. The Portuguese subsequently ambushed the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Ships|ship]] that Roberts served on, killing the captain, [[Howell Davis]]. Despite this, Roberts managed to escape. Around the same time, the pirate [[Edward Kenway]] had come to Príncipe in search of Roberts, and engaged a small Portuguese fleet that greeted him upon his arrival.&lt;ref name=&quot;AC4&quot;&gt;''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Later that year, a fleet of the Portuguese Navy was assigned a task by the Templars to transport [[blood vials]] of [[Grand Master]] [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], [[Benjamin Hornigold]], [[Woodes Rogers]] and [[Laurens Prins]], members and allies of the Templar Order, to a Templar warehouse in {{Wiki|Rio de Janeiro}}, Brazil (Portuguese colony). The vials were stored in the flagship, ''[[Royal Fortune|Nosso Senhor da Compreensão]]'' which, along with the rest of the fleet, were anchored off the coast of [[Mexico]] to resupply.&lt;ref name=&quot;AC4&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The pirate Bartholomew Roberts found where the vials were hidden after capturing a Portuguese captain. With the help of Edward Kenway's ''[[Jackdaw]]'', which was fitted with a stolen Portuguese flag, the pirates infiltrated the fleet, and to ease the task, captured the flagship along with the blood vials and escaped the attacking fleet.&lt;ref name=&quot;AC4&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> {{AC4}}<br /> {{ACP}}<br /> [[Category:Navies]]<br /> [[Category:Portuguese Armed Forces]]</div>
