Summary edit

Description

NAeL Minas Gerais (A11) was the first Brazilian aircraft carrier. She was in service between 1960 and 2001, and scrapped in India in 2004. She 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 in Europe and Asia. 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 The Netherlands she sailed to her new owner, the Brazilian Navy.

During her final years NAeL Minas Gerais was a sailing museum, with lots of wood and copper.
