Independencia Armored frigiate(Ironclad) - Concept
And continuing with the ships of the war of the Pacific, Independenca Armored frigiate.
Here is some little info from Wikipedia. In spanish there is more info about that ship:
Independencia was an armored corvette (frigiate) built in England for the Peruvian Navy during the mid-1860s. Independencia and Huáscar where the two main ships of the Peruvian Navy at the start of the War of the Pacific with Chile. Independencia ran aground while pursuing Covadonga during the naval battle of Punta Gruesa on 21 May 1879. When the Chileans in Covadonga realized that Independencia had run aground they returned to bombard it causing many deaths. When Huáscar appeared Covadonga fled. The Peruvian survivors were rescued by Huáscar and the remains of the ship set afire to prevent its capture.

I will keep posting new ships here, unfortunetly I have only 2 of them, and there is around 18 ships :'D
Finally, if you have information, references, or more about this conflict, please, let me know. This design is in continuos evolution, it's not her final form lol
