Veterans of the african wars, there is still one survivor, the Zaire, that is being stationed in São Tomé e Príncipe for 5 years now (!!!)
 
Are these the original artillery pieces of D. Fernando II?
I think so but i'm not 100% sure, She sufered a fire during the 50s and had to be almost totally rebuilt for the Expo 98 exibition.
A shame that they removed most of her masts after that and never put them back

 
Contrary to her dutch and belgian counterparts that received the Seawatcher 100, the portuguese Ms were equiped with the Vigile D and the gatekeeper (common to all three navies)
