[2] Clover arrived in Paraguay in November 1911 along with Constitución, a former ocean-going freighter converted into gunboat, and the transport General Díaz.

She was commissioned in the Paraguayan Navy as gunboat Adolfo Riquelme, named after a politician killed in March 1911 during the revolt against Jara.

In September she shelled Encarnación again, this time to support the landing of 150 soldiers, who engaged the rebels and destroyed a railway section and telegraph lines before falling back to the loyalist beachhead.

[1] Her first trip to the north took place on 5 August 1932 escorting the barges Irene and Bahía Negra, ferrying troops of the 3rd Artillery Group to the battle front.

[4] On 22 December 1932 at 11:00 AM, while at anchor at Bahía Negra (20°13′48″S 58°10′1″W / 20.23000°S 58.16694°W / -20.23000; -58.16694) with her boilers shut down, Tacuary was attacked by two Bolivian CW-14 Osprey fighter bombers and one Curtiss P-6 Hawk that took off from Fortín Vitriones.

The Osprey split from the package, and trailing black smoke, eventually crashed on Brazilian territory, according to the Paraguayan report.

The army commander of the Northern Sector, Colonel José Julian Sánchez, was killed during the attacks by a bomb splinter.

The two surviving aircraft repeated the attack twice on 24 December, at 8:00 and 17:00 hrs, but were fought off without inflicting any mayor damage on the ship, which this time took evasive manoeuvres.

The death of President José Félix Estigarribia halted these plans, and the former gunboat became a barge in the Naval Transport Service.
