HMS Pioneer (R76)
HMS Pioneer (R76) var ett hangarfartyg av Colossus-klass byggd för Royal Navy under andra världskriget. Hon modifierades under konstruktionen till ett underhållshangarfartyg. Fartyget anlände till Australien i mitten av 1945 för att understödja operationer av brittiska Stillahavsflottan mot japanska styrkor. Hon understödde Stillahavsflottans attacker mot de japanska öarna från mitten av juni till slutet av augusti från basen på Amiralitetsöarna. Fartyget och hennes utrustning användes för att reparera Hongkongs infrastruktur i slutet av 1945 och hon återvände till Storbritannien i början av 1946. Pioneer försattes direkt i reserven vid ankomst och hon såldes för skrotning 1954.

Naval Ensign of India.svg
The ensign consists of the Indian national flag on the upper canton, a blue octagon encasing the national emblem atop an anchor to depict steadfastness, superimposed on a shield with the Navy’s motto “Śaṁ No Varunaḥ” (a Vedic mantra invoking the god of seas to be auspicious) in Devanagari. The octagon represents the eight directions and has been included as a symbol of the Navy’s “multidirectional reach and multidimensional operational capability”. The golden borders of the octagon have been inspired by the seal of Maratha Emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
