The Cabral-class ironclads were a pair of iron-hulled, armored corvettes originally ordered by Paraguay in 1864, but were sold to Brazil when Paraguay defaulted on the payments. Configured as central-battery ironclads, they served during the 1864–70 War of the Triple Alliance between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay against Paraguay. Design and descriptionThe ships were {{convert|160|ft|m|1}} long, had a beam of {{convert|35|ft|6|in|m|1}} and drafts of {{convert|11.75|-|12.1|ft|m|1}}. They displaced {{convert|1033|LT|t}}. The Cabral class had a pair of steam engines, each driving one propeller. The engines produced a total of {{convert|750|ihp|lk=in}} and gave the ships a maximum speed of {{convert|10.5|kn|lk=in}}. Their crew consisted of 125 officers and enlisted men.[1] Cabral was armed with two 70-pounder Whitworth rifled muzzle-loading guns and two smoothbore 68-pounder guns, while Colombo had four 120-pounder Whitworth guns. The ships had a complete waterline belt of wrought iron that ranged in thickness from {{convert|114|mm|in|sp=us|1}} amidships to {{convert|76|mm|in|sp=us|1}} at the ends of the ship.[1]Ships
