São Paulo was a dreadnought battleship designed for the Brazilian Navy by the British company Armstrong Whitworth. She was the second of two ships in the Minas Geraes class.
The USN stole all of its modern designs from the IJN. The Fubuki class? All modern destroyers are based on her. The first fixed-wing aircraft carrier actually designed as an aircraft carrier, rather than an ocean liner or coal barge with a board nailed to the top of it? Once again, the Japanese. The LPD, LHD, and LSD? Japanese origin. Did the USN even invent anything of their own, or have they just been stealing everybody else’s ideas since the organization’s conception?
The USN was the first to install exterior patio tables on their battleships.
