1. What is the vessel class?Sail training vessel
2. What is the naval affiliation?Mexican Navy
3. Why does the Mexican Navy use a sail ship instead of a motor ship?Sailing teaches cadets how to read the wind, work together, and solve problems. Those skills are still useful even on modern, engine-powered ships.
4. How does the Cuauhtémoc use wind to move?Its sails catch the wind and create lift, which pushes the ship forward. The crew adjusts the sails with ropes and pulleys to steer and speed up.
