She was renamed Quinze de Novembro, but reverted to República in 1894 and was later refitted as a minelayer. Two 120mm Armstrong QF guns were mounted fore and aft and the other four were at the break of the poop and forecastle. There was one fixed bow TT and the other two were on the main deck amidships.
