The Uruguayan Navy also plans to retire older warships. It is in search of replacements for its three ex-French Navy Commandant Riviere-class frigates, which are more than 40 years old. In addition, Uruguay has expressed interest in purchasing two Descubierta-class patrol ships from Spain.

Uruguay will buy the 2 remaining "joćo belo" portuguese frigates, similar to the Commandant Riviere also but modernised by Portugal during the 90s.
The purchase of 2 Descubiertas as been disconsidered.
