Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“The Brazilian Navy leased the ship on 18 September 1989 and she was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 24 January 2001. She was subsequently sold to Brazil and served as the destroyer Pará (D 27) until 12 November 2008 when she was decommissioned. She now sits in reserve.

Albert David earned three battle stars for service in the Vietnam War.”
