Due to the defensive nature of Peru’s defence policy, the decision was made to channel funding to large defensive guns rather than mobile land ironclads. A number of 48” Webley-Armstrong Rocket Cannons were installed in defence of key strategic locations along the cost. The slow moving 48” rocket propelled shell proved to be highly effective against both naval and land ironclads throughout the Spanish Reclamation.
