When the "Eagle" was refitted for her trip from Germany to the US after the war, the German yard crew were somewhat angry and mystified about her new name. Apparently "igel" in German means "marmot"--what we call a woodchuck....
Interesting that the Mexican Navy had a training sailing ship made from scratch so late in the game. I guess they and the USCG believe in BASIC "basic training!"
(Thanks for the spelling lesson--as I say, my Nahua is kinda weak. I do know how to say that name, since I stay in that colonia when I'm in Mexico, DF and have to get the cabby pointed in the right direction when I don't take the metro in from the airport.).
