The second passage of Curupayty was a naval operation carried out by the Imperial Brazilian Navy in the Paraguayan War on 13 February 1868, which aimed to force, once again, the passage of the Curupayty Fort. This time the passage was carried out by the new Brazilian monitors Alagoas, Pará and Rio Grande, in addition to some other wooden ships. The fleet faced thirty artillery pieces for an hour.
