🇨🇴 On May 8, 1951, a Colombian frigate arrived in Korea. The Almirante Padilla had 4 weeks training w/U.S. Pacific Fleet then was assigned to the Patrol & Escort Group in the Yellow Sea. The Almirante conducted patrols, escorted convoys, & defended islands off Korean shores. pic.twitter.com/QSp7ie3IP3

Oops!! Not the same ship, my apologies… there have been multiple Almirante Padillas since the Korean War.

Hope that helps.
