Is the Brazilian Navy about to pick the British Navy clean?

via Naval.com.br
Brazilian source say MoD will provide list of ships available to sell to Brazil by February including RFA Wave Ruler, some Type 23 frigates, MCMVs & OPVs
Story here (requires translation). 

Wow.  As the Brits say...I could be "cheeky" and claim this is the F-35 effect...everything must die so the F-35 and the carriers can live but I'm not so sure on this one.

Is it Brexit?  Is it a natural downsizing?  Is it economic factors I'm unaware of?

Just not sure.  If this story is true I'm sure of one thing.  The British Navy will no longer be the formidable force it once was.
