Humaitá-class gunboat
The Humaitá-class gunboat was a two-unit class of riverine gunboats designed by Paraguayan naval engineer José Bozzano and built in Genoa, Italy, for the Paraguayan Navy from 1928 to 1931. The warships played a key role as fast armed transports during the Chaco War with Bolivia.
==Design==
The Humaitá class was designed to meet the Paraguayan goal of achieving naval supremacy in the Paraguay river, given the conflict with Bolivia over the Chaco region. The original plan had been part of Bozzano's thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.〔Farina (2011), (Online edition ), Chapter ''La Misión Estratégica''. 〕 The gunboats had a larger freeboard than other fresh-water designs of the time. The forecastle was also longer than usual riverine units. The twin 4.7 in guns and the 76 mm cannons made their gunnery heavier than some seagoing destroyer classes, like the Italian Freccia and Turbine,〔(''Humaitá e Paraguay'' ) by Maurizio Brescia 〕 or the British leader destroyers. A British officer stated that the Paraguayan ships were the more powerful riverine vessels in the world.〔Farina, Bernardo Neri (2011). ''José Bozzano y la Guerra del Material''. Colección Protagonistas de la Historia, Editorial El Lector, (Online edition ), Chapter ''El Viaje Inolvidable''. 〕 The range and the strength of the design foresaw the need of troop transports in the incoming war. Bozzano was asked to build vessels capable of carrying a 1,400 men-strong regiment each one.〔
