While sifting through the storage box for US pre-dreadnought cruisers at the weekend, I discovered that I have a spare model of USS New Orleans. This was a sister ship to the Brazilian protected cruiser Almirante Barosso, built in England and launched in 1896. This means I can now add a Brazilian warship to my non-belligerent flotilla, although I suspect the Brazilians will pick sides in the conflict, most likely alongside the Chileans rather than with the Argentinians?
