Did seaplane tenders support the Far Eastern presence?

Were seaplane tenders involved in Far Eastern counter-piracy and presence operations?

Yes. HMS Pegasus appeared in the theater as part of the wider naval aviation presence.

The four-second answer says only that HMS Pegasus appeared in the theater and was used. The exchange identifies her as a seaplane tender and therefore broadens the aviation story beyond Hermes and Argus. It does not name a particular raid, aircraft complement, or operational task for Pegasus. This is a concise pointer to the presence of a lesser-known aviation ship rather than evidence for a detailed account of her work.
