A number of navies have a tall ship — a large, old-style sailing ship — that they use for training. I believe that they also use them for ceremonies and maybe recruiting and stuff. Kind of a prestige thing, if they can scrape together the funds to have one.
The US has the USCGC Eagle for the Coast Guard and the USS Constitution — the oldest commissioned warship afloat — for the Navy.
According to its Wikipedia page, the Cuauhtémoc does have an auxillary motor, so it’s not completely reliant on wind.
