Eveleigh Nash, London, England, 1915. 

An item reported that instead of the Rio de Janeiro sold by Brazil to Turkey the Brazilian government ordered the building of a new battleship at Armstrong, England. The armament was to consist of 35,6 or 38cm guns and the belt was to be thick. The 30,5cm guns and the 22,9cm thick belt of the Rio de Janeiro were considered to be insufficient.(1)

Note
1. This must be the Sultan Osman-1 Evvel which was seized in August 1914 by the United Kingdom and commissioned as the HMS Agincourt. Brazil sold the still not completed ship while the relations with Argentina improved and financial problems occurred when the rubber boom ended. In fact Brazil choose for what was called Design 718, an Armstrong design with an armament of 8-15” guns. The order for the Riachuelo was finally however cancelled on 13 May 1915.
