The Mato Grosso-class destroyer is a class of destroyers of the Brazilian Navy. Seven ships of the Allen M. Sumner class were lent by the United States Navy and were in commission from 1972 until 1996.
Built in Brazil to a modified British design along with some U.S. equipment, they were built to replace six H-class destroyers (or Jurua class) ordered from Britain but purchased by Britain for use in the war. Due to design complications, the ships took a long time to complete, having been finished from 1949 to 1951.
