The ARM CUAUHTEMOC, commissioned under the Mexican Navy, sails with 55 officers, 74 cadets and 120 enlisted crew members. Launched in July 1982, the vessel is 270 ft with her homeport in Acapulco, Mexico. The CUAUHTEMOC serves Mexico as the training vessel for the Mexican Navy, a role she has fulfilled for more than twenty years. She participates in worldwide tall ship events while teaching the essential elements of seamanship and navigation, taking more than one hundred cadets to sea for each of its cruises. The program helps develop individual leadership skills and teambuilding skills while at sea.
On Thursday, May 21, 2015, the “ARM CUAUHTEMOC” arrived in Downtown Norfolk, docking at Otter Berth next to Waterside. The City of Norfolk is the only US port call for the ship’s 2015 sail training tour.
