- "I've concluded that we must take action regarding these rogue pirates. If these blackguards continue to plunder and menace merchant shipping, it won't be long before England, France, Spain and probably Portugal will dispatch their navies to hunt down all pirate ships they find. They won't distinguish between those of us that keep to the Code, and these rogue pirates...these Code breakers."
- ―Edward Teague to assembled pirates at Shipwreck Cove
The Portuguese Royal Navy was the naval military arm of Portugal. It rivaled the British, Spanish, and French Navies. It was sizable enough to be able to withstand pirates.
Behind the scenes[]
- "Attack authorizations? I thought pirate activity was at an ebb."
"They're lying low for the moment. But the Brethren will gather soon enough, and then one final strike..."
"A Portuguese merchant vessel? This one is for ships of the French Royal Navy! You intend to use the Flying Dutchman to wage war on other nations?" - ―Weatherby Swann and Cutler Beckett
- The Portuguese Royal Navy currently makes no appearances in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe, being only indirectly mentioned in the 2011 novel The Price of Freedom.
- In Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's first screenplay draft for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Lord Cutler Beckett intended to use the Flying Dutchman to attack both pirate ships and ships of other nations, including at least one Portuguese merchant vessel.[1]
