The Brazilian aircraft carrier NAeL <i>Minas Gerais</i> (A11) underway at sea, in October 1996. She was in service between 1960 and 2001, and scrapped in India in 2004. The <i>Minas Gerais</i> was the last of the <i>Colossus</i>-class and launched by Swan Hunter (UK) as HMS <i>Vengeance</i> (R71) in February 1944. She was completed too late to see action in WW2. After the war, <i>Vengeance</i> was used by the Royal Navy and served in the Australian Navy from 1952 to 1955. After a mayor refit in Rotterdam she sailed to her new owner, the Brazilian Navy.
