The battle ocurred on the La Plata River in Argentine waters, nothing to do with the place shown in the map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.198.204.68 (talk) 13:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That was another battle, in a different Riachuelo. DPdH (talk) 21:07, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Rangel is a mistake in the Brazilian sources. there was no such ship at the battle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vawarner2000 (talk • contribs) 00:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, I have a list of the ships in the battle, will fix it now and reference it (since this lacks reference). Veritiel (talk) 11:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the article of battle of Riachuelo is said that the Brazilan Forces had 247 deaths, but i found a list that says that the Brazil had:
mortos (portuguese for deads) feridos (portuguese for wounded)
Amazonas -> 13 Mortos e 13 Feridos
Belmonte -> 9 Mortos e 23 Feridos
Iguatemi -> 1 Morto e 6 Feridos
Jequitinhonha -> 8 Mortos e 33 Feridos
Parnaíba -> 33 Mortos e 29 Feridos
Beberibe -> 5 Mortos e 19 Feridos
Araguari -> 2 Mortos e 5 Feridos
Ipiranga -> 1 Morto e 6 Feridos
Mearim -> 2 Mortos e 8 Feridos
Total 74 deaths
142 Wounded
i think this should be changed right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cypher3 (talk • contribs) 23:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, the article says 247 casualties, not 247 deads. There are other sources with the same number of casualties, but with 123 deads and 124 missing and wounded. see: http://www.reocities.com/Pentagon/Camp/2523/
