Summary

[edit]
Description

South Atlantic, October 1996.

NAeL Minas Gerais (A11) was the first Brazilian aircraft carrier. She was in service between 1960 and 2001, and scrapped in India in 2004. By then the shipo was replaced by NAe São Paulo (A12), the former FNS Foch of the French Navy.

The Minas Gerais was the last of the Colossus-class and launched by Swan Hunter (England) as HMS Vengeance in February 1944. She was completed too late to see action in WW2. After the war HMS Vengeance (R71) 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.

When the ship left service she was the oldest aircraft carrier in the world and the largest navy ship south of the equator.
