Mexican Navy Service
On 4 November 1973, the former Sage was sold to the Mexican Navy and renamed ARM Hermenegildo Galeana (C86). Later, her pennant number was changed to G19. In 1993, she was renamed ARM Mariano Matomoros (P117) to free her former name for American frigate Bronstein, which was purchased the same year. As of 2007, Mariano Matomoros was in active service with the Mexican Navy.
