And, "Mexican Navy"? Really? I guess it's a little chilly to be

Yes - they actually have a Navy - with frigates even.


Unfortunately, the Journal of Defense & Diplomacy is defunct. It used to
publish Orders of Battle of the nations of the world, and those listings
would have included the naval ships of Mexico. Jane's might, still. The
Mexican navy has a good number of ships, but most of them are old. Many
of the newer ones are Russian-made. The majority of Mexican naval ships
are coastal interdictors, not going to war ships of aggression.
