The tug of the aircraft carrier has changed its AIS signal and now indicates that it will arrive back in Rio de Janeiro on 2 October. The two-month round trip follows a similar pattern to the odyssey of its sister ship, the French aircraft carrier "Clemenceau", which was also turned away in 2006, then in India.
