Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

I inserted the details of the reported loss of the Santa Catarina de Monte Sinai as given by the Portuguese chroniclers Gaspar Correia and Francisco de Andrada, including links to their respective chronicles. Given that both assert that it was taken and scuttled by French pirates, I deleted the previous section which read:
Both rumors are unlikely, not only the vessel was too big and slow a ship for privateering, and too powerful to be seized by pirates, but also it wold be easily noticed wherever she went, and no further news are known about its whereabouts. So, most likely the ship was lost on his return trip.
which seems speculative and was unreferenced. As I noted in the article, there have been captures of larger Portuguese India ships (e.g. 1587, 1592), so it is not out of the question that French corsairs seized it, particularly if it was in a crippled condition (as Correia & Andrada report). I am still looking for the original source of the alternative hypothesis (given by Subrahmanyam) that it might have taken for privateering by D. Luis de Menezes.
