uss midway (cv-41) is an aircraft carrier, formerly of the united states navy, the lead ship of her class. commissioned a week after the end of world war ii, midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first u.s. aircraft carrier too big to transit the panama canal. she operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the vietnam war and served as the persian gulf flagship in 1991's operation desert storm. decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the uss midway museum, in san diego, california, and the only remaining u.s. aircraft carrier commissioned right after world war ii ended that was not an essex-class aircraft carrier.
the midway returning to alameda on 23 november to enter san francisco bay naval shipyard on 11 february 1966 for a massive modernization (scb-101.66), which proved expensive and controversial. the flight deck was enlarged from 2.8 to 4 acres (11,300 to 16,200 square metres (122,000 to 174,000 sq ft)), and the angle of the flight deck landing area was increased to 13.5 degrees. the elevators were enlarged, moved, and given almost double the weight capacity. midway also received new steam catapults, arresting gear, and a centralized air conditioning plant. cost overruns raised the price of this program from $88 million to us$202 million, and precluded a similar modernization planned for franklin d. roosevelt. after midway was finally recommissioned on 31 january 1970, it was found that the modifications had hurt the ship's seakeeping capabilities and ability to conduct air operations in rough seas, which made further modifications necessary to correct the problem. this model show the last figure of this sea beast. the f-18 are included on files.
