BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

The Amerigo Vespucci is a tall ship of the Italian Navy (Marina Militare) and it is in use as a school ship.

While sailing the Mediterranean Sea in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking: "Who are you?" The full-rigged ship answered: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." The Independence replied: "You are the most beautiful ship in the world." 

This is our flying tribute the ship, with the soundtrack 'Ecstasy of Gold' by Ennio Morricone, performed by Caroolina Eyck. This is our pride and 'Ecstasy of the Seas'
