Gunboat Patria on patrol - a photo on Flickriver

The Gunboat Pátria had a displacement of 630 tons and a length of 60meters so it was a small ship. It had a maximum speed of 16,7knots and had a crew of 88 men.

In terms of armament, it was armed with four Schneider 100mm guns, four 47mm and two 37mm Hotchkiss cannons, plus a 6,5mm Nordenfelt Machine gun.
When the ship finally entered service, it was sent to Angola and then to Brazil on a goodwill visit to thank all the help received in Brazil for the purchase of the ship. Later, the ship departed to Macau where it would stay the remaining of its operational life with the Navy.
In July 1910, a group of Chinese pirates kidnapped a group of children from Macau and took them to the island of Coloane where they demanded a considerable ransom to release them. The Gunboat Pátria, together with the Armored Cruiser “Vasco da Gama” and the Protected Cruiser “Rainha D. Amelia” performed a masterful rescue operation, releasing all the Children in just a few days.
In 1931, already old, tired and obsolete, it was sold to the Chinese Navy, continuing to serve under the name “Fu-Yu”.
