Brazilian destroyer Paraná (1910)

Paraná was a Pará-class destroyer of the Brazilian Navy, serving from 1910 to 1933.

She was powered by 2 triple expansion reciprocating steam engines, driving two shafts, which developed a total of 8,877 indicated horsepower (6,620 kW) and gave a maximum design speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph).

During the trials the contract speed was exceeded, and the vessel was clocked at 28.74 knots (53.23 km/h; 33.07 mph).

Paraná carried a maximum of 140 long tons (140 t) of coal that gave her a range of approximately 3,700 nautical miles (6,900 km; 4,300 mi) at 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).

In addition, four 47 mm (3pdr) cannons in single mounts were deployed at the time of launching.
