Cañonero (gunboat) Paraguay, one of the twin gunboats (the other being the Humaitá) ordered by the Paraguayan Government in 1929 from the Odero-Terni Shipyard at Genoa, Italy. It had four 120mm L/50 twin Odero-Terni guns, three 76mm L/50 single Odero-Terni guns, two 40mm L/39 single AA guns, racks for six Vickers “H” Mk.II mines and six HMGs. It was mainly used for troop transport and river patrol. Fully loaded, it could transport a battalion of infantry. (Artwork by David Bocquelet)
