Reseña del libro "Brazilian Cruiser Bahia (en Inglés)"
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bahia was the lead ship of her class of cruiser built for Brazil by Armstrong Whitworth in the United Kingdom. Six months after her commissioning (May 1910), crewmen aboard the ship mutinied during the "Revolt of the Whip", killing one of the ship's officers during the four-day rebellion. During the First World War, Bahia and her sister ship Rio Grande do Sul were assigned to the Diviso Naval em Operaes de Guerra (English: Naval Division in War Operations), the Brazilian Navy's main contribution in that conflict. Based out of Sierra Leone and Dakar, the squadron escorted convoys through an area believed to be heavily patrolled by U-boats. In the mid-1920s, Bahia was extensively modernized. She received three new Brown Curtis turbine engines and six new Thornycroft boilers, and, in the process, was converted from a coal-burning ship to an oil-burning one. The refit resulted in a striking aesthetic change, with the exhaust being trunked into three funnels, instead of two. The armament was also modified; three 20.1 millimetres (0.79 in) Madsen guns, a 7 mm (0.28 in) Hotchkiss machine gun, and four 533 mm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes were added to the ship.
