The ARA Patagonia was an armoured cruiser that served in the Argentine Navy between 1886 and 1927. == Design == The ''Patagonia'' was a steam-sail armoured cruiser with steel hull and wooden planking, and armoured conning tower. It was propelled by two compound horizontal engines, and two masts with brick sails. It was equipped with two searchlights, two small steam boats, and five smaller boats with oars. As designed, its main battery was one 250mm Armstrong gun at the bow, and one 150mm Armstrong gun at the stern and on each side; with Vavasseur mountings protected with armoured shields. The secondary battery had four 87.5 mm and two 65.2mm Armstrong guns. It also mounted eight Nordenfelt machine guns and six Gardner machine guns. In 1899 the 250mm gun and two 150mm guns were removed, and the remainder artillery was redistributed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ARA Patagonia (1885)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
