== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

+Following the end of World War II, the Royal Netherlands Navy established plans to rebuild its fleet.  Having drawn lessons from the conflict, the establishment of a naval air service with an aircraft carrier of its own was high on the list of priorities, and pending the acquisition of a large fleet carrier, a smaller escort carrier (HMS Nairana, baptised Hr.Ms. Karel Doorman) was borrowed from the Royal Navy, while Fairey Firefly Mk.I fighter-bombers were acquired to serve aboard the ship.
