DescriptionMinas Gerais, Brazilian Navy (23481371940).jpg
English: The Brazilian aircraft carrier NAeL Minas Gerais (A11) underway at sea, in October 1996. She was in service between 1960 and 2001, and scrapped in India in 2004. The Minas Gerais was the last of the Colossus-class and launched by Swan Hunter (UK) as HMS Vengeance (R71) in February 1944. She was completed too late to see action in WW2. After the war, Vengeance 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.
