Brazil:
AF-1 Falcão (A-4 Skyhawk) launching from aircraft carrier São Paulo. September 2002
Formerly the Clemenceau-class carrier Foch, built for the French Navy in 1963. She was sold to Brazil in 2000 and commissioned as São Paulo, replacing the Minas Gerais (formerly the Colossus-class CVL HMS Vengeance). Chronic reliability issues eventually saw her paid off and scrapped in 2021.

Imperial Russia:
Fight of the brig "Mercury"by Mikhail Tkachenko
The painting depicts a historical episode of the victory of the Russian brig "Mercury" over the superior forces of the Turkish squadron while patrolling the Turkish Bosphorus in the Black Sea.
The events depicted in the picture took place on May 14, 1829, when the brig "Mercury" under the command of Lieutenant-Commander A. I. Kazarsky, due to a weak wind, could not escape the pursuit and was overtaken by two of the largest and fastest ships in the Turkish squadron. On one of the Turkish ships was the admiral (kapudan-pasha) of the Turkish fleet and the Russian brig was forced to join the battle, having 18 guns on board against almost 200 enemy guns.
The decision to join the battle was made at the officers' council and was supported by the brig's sailors. During the confrontation, which lasted two hours, the "Mercury" managed to damage with its fire the supports supporting one of the masts of the Real-bei (74 guns), the mast fell overboard, and the ship lost speed and the ability to manoeuvre and fight. Left alone with the other Turkish ship Selimiye (110 guns), the Russian brig was able to inflict approximately the same damage as on the Real-bei. The mast collapsed and the ship was forced to withdraw from the battle. "Mercury" received very heavy damage, but at the same time lost only 4 people from the crew. The brig returned safely to Sevastopol, Crimea.
