Riachuelo was a battleship project for the Brazilian Navy developed between 1913 and 1914. It was designed to be the most powerful warship of its time; it was a Brazilian response to the Chilean projects Almirante Latorre and Almirante Cochrane and to the Argentine projects Rivadavia and Moreno, during the naval arms race in South America. The construction would be carried out by the British construction company Armstrong Whitworth and Vickers, under the codename Project 781, a project chosen among several other plans offered to the Brazilian authorities. The battleship would be 188.98 meters long and have at least eight 381-millimeter guns, displacing up to 30,500 nautical tons.

  • Riachuelo was a battleship project for the Brazilian Navy developed between 1913 and 1914. It was designed to be the most powerful warship of its time; it was a Brazilian response to the Chilean projects Almirante Latorre and Almirante Cochrane and to the Argentine projects Rivadavia and Moreno, during the naval arms race in South America. The construction would be carried out by the British construction company Armstrong Whitworth and Vickers, under the codename Project 781, a project chosen among several other plans offered to the Brazilian authorities. The battleship would be 188.98 meters long and have at least eight 381-millimeter guns, displacing up to 30,500 nautical tons. Due to the outbreak of World War I, construction was delayed. Although the contract for construction was signed on 14 May 1914, by November of that year little work had been done at the shipyard. Construction was officially canceled on 13 May 1915. The Brazilian Naval League tried to keep the construction alive by financing it through a national donation campaign, but the amount of funds raised was not sufficient to cover the costs. If finished, Riachuelo would have been compared to the British Revenge-class battleship and Queen Elizabeth classes. (en)

Devido à eclosão da Primeira Guerra Mundial, a construção sofreu atrasos. Apesar de a assinatura do contrato para a construção ter sido feita em 14 de maio de 1914, em novembro daquele ano pouco trabalho havia sido feito no estaleiro. A construção foi oficialmente cancelada em 13 de maio de 1915. A Liga Naval Brasileira tentou manter a construção viva por financiá-la através de uma campanha nacional de doações, porém o valor arrecadado fora insuficiente para cobrir os custos. Se terminado, o Riachuelo teria a aparência do encouraçado HMS Royal Sovereigh, ligeiramente melhor protegido, ou ainda do encouraçado HMS Queen Elizabeth, ambos britânicos. (pt)
