In 1960 Dutch carrier Karel Doorman was sent to Netherlands New Guinea because of growing tensions with Indonesia.
She operated with Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers, Hawker Sea Hawk fighters, and 2 Sikorsky S-55 ASW helicopters.
(kinda mind blowing that the Dutch Navy once operated aircraft carriers)
