"Designing the Navy on Paper' is the title of this temporary exhibition focused on the life and work of Rear Admiral Engineer Shipbuilder Rogério Silva Duarte Geral d'Oliveira (1921-2021), on the centennial of his birth.
Rear Admiral Rogério d'Oliveira was an Engineer Shipbuilder Officer who developed a remarkable work as the designer of some of the most emblematic ships of the Portuguese Navy and the national Merchant Marine in the second half of the 20th century, also standing out as a teacher and academic.
Rear Admiral Rogério de Oliveira was duly recognised during his lifetime for his work as a shipbuilding engineer and academic in Portugal and also quite remarkably at the international level. 'Designing the Navy on Paper' intends to reflect and illustrate Rear Admiral Rogério d'Oliveira's solid career at the service of the Portuguese Navy, in teaching and in the academic field.
