Copacabana Beach, a venue for 2016 Rio Olympics, being guarded by a warship

There is a massive security mechanism set up in Rio de Janiero for the Olympic Games. The tourist hot spot Copacabana Beach is being guarded by a warship that is stacked with missiles and an arsenal of lethal weaponry. It has been positioned as a security cover for the mega event to be held in the shadow of ISIS terrorism. Brazil would be using the frigate, and a small fleet of other vessels to patrol the waters around tourist hot spot Copacabana Beach which would be one venue for the beach volleyball.
Moreover, thousands of people will be partying on the famous sands of the Copacabana every night during the Olympics and would be dining out in the many restaurants.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 29 July 2016.

Thousands of sport loving fans are expected to visit Rio during the world's biggest sporting event scheduled to begin next week. Brazil is spending almost $900 million on protecting the Olympics from terrorist attack and the 500,000 foreign visitors expected in Rio for the games.
There will be a record 130,000 police, soldiers, naval personnel and security guards on duty. They have been drafted in to combat the terrorist threat after a gang of alleged ISIS operatives were arrested in Brazil earlier this month. The security has been beefed up with back up from the US Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which are acting as advisors to the Olympic officials in the fight to prevent carnage at the games and protect athletes and sports fans.
