The Mexican Navy’s sail training vessel Cuauhtémoc, with midshipmen from that country’s naval academy, will visit New London May 2-6 and be open to public visits while the future officers meet their counterparts at the United States Coast Guard Academy.
Prior to entering the harbor, the ARM Cuauhtémoc (kwawˈte.mok), will exchange the traditional 21-gun salute with the mobile saluting battery from Submarine Base New London, which will be positioned at Fort Trumbull to render the honors.
