Midshipmen Arrive to the Isle of Youth (+ photos) | Radio Caribe

Nueva Gerona, March 27. ? With a hundred of officers and midshipmen from the Naval Academy Granma, arrived from Havana this Monday at the port of Nueva Gerona, in the Isle of Youth, the training ship ?Carlos Manuel de C?spedes?, along with ?Tuxco? and ?XIV Festival? ships.

In the harbor they were received by authorities of the territory, and a representation of the Jos? Mart? Elementary Students? Organization (OPJM by its Spanish acronym) who carried out a greeting cultural activity.

In a welcome message, the primary student Osvaldo Pupo said he was convinced the midshipmen will know to defend our land from this same sea they are sailing in a training trip of several weeks.

The circumnavigation of Cuba is dedicated to 50th anniversary of the founding of the Young Communists? League (UJC by its Spanish acronym); it aims the midshipmen to exercise the skills learned in class as well as to develop abilities previous to their graduation as officers of the Cuban Revolutionary Navy (MGR by its Spanish acronym).

Nueva Gerona?s port is the second one where the ships stop over, the next ones will be Cienfuegos?, in the center of the country, Santiago de Cuba?s, Holgu?n?s and Matanzas?, a second phase to perform what the students have learned in navy school about navigation, exploitation of technical means, energy installations and radars and communications systems, among other issues.

These young people will receive certifications on Naval Science, Communications, Radio Electronics and Mechanical Engineering.

The midshipmen toured historical sites of the Isle of Youth, and had a meeting with young men of the Military Sector of the Special Municipality.
