There's an early description of the ship, translated from an Argentine newspaper, on Google Books. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Barbette
I don't understand the terminology involving barbette. I did go to the Article Barbette - BTW, shouldn't there be a wlink to that? But the days-of-the-week barbettes don't mean anything to me. What is a "Monday" barbette, etc.? TomS TDotO (talk) 02:03, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

It was simply the naming system adopted. Instead of 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C, the turrets were called Sunday, Monday, Tuesday ...Peter Bell (talk) 05:42, 22 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I see now that there were seven turrets. I'm going to mention this, as well as the wlink.  TomS TDotO (talk) 06:42, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see that this was mentioned in the article and I'd missed it. Sorry. But I did wlink barbette. Thanks for your patience. TomS TDotO (talk) 06:58, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Brazilian ship name
What's your source for stating that the ship was named for the state of Rio de Janeiro?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:46, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to confuse things further, here's a source that says it honored both the state and city. (The original source for that is presumably Repositório de Nomes dos Navios          da Esquadra Brasileira [Repository of Names of Ships of the Brazilian Fleet], listed at the bottom.)

 * The same source posted by @The ed17. The thing is, if you check this same website page on the battleship São Paulo, it also says it was named after both the state and city, but this happens because these two states have homonymous capitals. Torimem (talk) 03:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
