ARM Cuauhtémoc (BE01)

ARM Cuauhtémoc is a sail training vessel of the Mexican Navy, named for the last Mexica Hueyi Tlatoani Cuauhtémoc who was captured and executed in 1525.

She is the last of four sister ships built by the Naval Shipyards of Bilbao, Spain, in 1982, all built to a design similar to the 1930 designs of the German firm Blohm & Voss, like Gorch Fock, USCGC Eagle (WIX-327) and the NRP Sagres.

Like her sister ships, the Colombia's ARC Gloria, Ecuador's Guayas and Venezuela's Simón Bolívar,  Cuauhtémoc is a sailing ambassador for her home country and a frequent visitor to world ports, having sailed over 400000 nmi in her 23 years of service, with appearances at the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races, ASTA Tall Ships Challenges, Sail Osaka, and others.
