A month of training and exercises with five different Central and South American navies culminated in a full-scale three-day war-at-sea exercise.
Upon the conclusion of the UNITAS exercises, Fife participated with the submarine forces of Peru in the Silent Force Exercise (SIFOREX). Through sixteen ASW exercises, Fife demonstrated her ASW prowess, and was not "sunk" by the enemy forces.
