Talk:Battle of Riachuelo

Where the battle took place
The battle ocurred on the La Plata River in Argentine waters, nothing to do with the place shown in the map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.198.204.68 (talk) 13:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That was another battle, in a different Riachuelo. DPdH (talk) 21:07, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Rangel
The Rangel is a mistake in the Brazilian sources. there was no such ship at the battle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vawarner2000 (talk • contribs) 00:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree, I have a list of the ships in the battle, will fix it now and reference it (since this lacks reference). Veritiel (talk) 11:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Casualites
In the article of battle of Riachuelo is said that the Brazilan Forces had 247 deaths, but i found a list that says that the Brazil had: mortos (portuguese for deads) feridos (portuguese for wounded)

Amazonas -> 13 Mortos e 13 Feridos

Belmonte -> 9 Mortos e 23 Feridos

Iguatemi -> 1 Morto e 6 Feridos

Jequitinhonha -> 8 Mortos e 33 Feridos

Parnaíba -> 33 Mortos e 29 Feridos

Beberibe -> 5 Mortos e 19 Feridos

Araguari -> 2 Mortos e 5 Feridos

Ipiranga -> 1 Morto e 6 Feridos

Mearim -> 2 Mortos e 8 Feridos

Total 74 deaths 142 Wounded

i think this should be changed right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cypher3 (talk • contribs) 23:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

No, the article says 247 casualties, not 247 deads. There are other sources with the same number of casualties, but with 123 deads and 124 missing and wounded. see: http://www.reocities.com/Pentagon/Camp/2523/

Lost ships
Is there a source listing the Paraguayan ships lost? Thanks, DPdH (talk) 21:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
