I don't understand the terminology involving barbette. I did go to the Article Barbette - BTW, shouldn't there be a wlink to that? But the days-of-the-week barbettes don't mean anything to me. What is a "Monday" barbette, etc.? TomS TDotO (talk) 02:03, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Sturmvogel 66 and Torimem: Just to confuse things further, here's a source that says it honored both the state and city. (The original source for that is presumably Repositório de Nomes dos Navios da Esquadra Brasileira [Repository of Names of Ships of the Brazilian Fleet], listed at the bottom.)

The same source posted by @The ed17. The thing is, if you check this same website page on the battleship São Paulo, it also says it was named after both the state and city, but this happens because these two states have homonymous capitals. Torimem (talk) 03:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
