The command and crew of the BAP “Unión” commemorated the ninth anniversary of the raising of the National Flag of the aforementioned naval unit, an event that was presided over by the Chief of Staff of the Surface Force, Captain Carlos Pesantes Venturi.
During the ceremony, it was recalled that on January 27, 2016, the raising of the National Flag of the sailing training ship BAP “Unión” was carried out, from which it was incorporated into the Surface Force.
The capabilities of the emblematic unit were demonstrated in the circumnavigation that it carried out between 2023 and 2024 around the five continents, carrying naval cadets from the Peruvian Naval School on board as part of their training and, simultaneously, promoting commercial ties with the countries visited.
