Boston. The Amerigo Vespucci Naval Academy has arrived in Boston for the seventh phase of the 2017 Educational Campaign. The Educational Campaign on board the Amerigo Vespucci represents a key element in the training of Navy personnel and contributes to the transfer of those fundamental values that distinguish men and women of the armed forces: love for the sea, ethics, loyalty, discipline and honour. The Vespucci, the “World’s Most Beautiful Ship” arrived from La Spezia Military Arsenal on April 19th for the 2017 Educational Campaign stopping in Sines and Funchal in Portugal and, after a 20-day Atlantic crossing, she docked in Hamilton, Bermuda; and later arrived in Canada in Halifax, Montreal, and Quebec City. The 79 students of the 24th Voluntary Four-Year Prefixed Conscription (VFP4) course were replaced by 125 students from the 1st class of the Naval Academy of Livorno, including 11 foreign students.
