The ship remained docked on Rio de Janeiro between 2002 and 2004. She was finally towed from Brazil in February 2004 to Alang, India, where the ship was broken up for scrap between the years 2004 and 2005.

Este aí não é o Veinticinco De Mayo, mas o Minas Gerais. O Veinticinco foi mandado para Alang em 2000. Já o Minas Gerais foi vendido à China em 2002 e esta o mandou à India em data que não encontrei. Como a data da imagem acima é de 2004, dificilmente ela seria do Veinticinco de Mayo.
