The <entity_1> was a two-week confrontation between the United Kingdom and <entity_5> over the passage of the Illustrious-class aircraft carrier HMS Victorious through the <entity_4>, a major waterway separating the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, occurring between August and <entity_3>. The incident was part of the larger <entity_0>, an armed <entity_6> between <entity_5> and Malaysia (with the military support of Britain) over the formation of the latter as an independent state. On <entity_2>, the British aircraft carrier HMS Victorious and her two destroyer escorts sailed through the <entity_4>, an international waterway claimed by <entity_5>, en route to Australia. To improve <entity_5>'s position at the negotiating table before the Federation was created, Sukarno initiated a period of <entity_0> (Confrontation) with Malaysia. In the Cabinet meeting of the next morning, Butler raised the issue once more, informing them that <entity_5> was attempting to prevent the innocent passage of the Victorious through the <entity_4> on the pretext of naval exercises. The <entity_1> was the closest the <entity_0> came to total war, and in the end, a standoff was indeed avoided, but the shadow of <entity_6> had not entirely passed.
