The USS Midway (CV-41) was a pioneering US Navy supercarrier, commissioned just after WWII in 1945, serving for 47 years through the Cold War, Vietnam War (including Operation Frequent Wind in Saigon), and Operation Desert Storm, becoming the first US carrier too large for the Panama Canal and the first homeported abroad (Japan). Decommissioned in 1992, it is now a popular museum ship in San Diego, California, showcasing naval aviation history with numerous aircraft and exhibits. #cv41 #usa #usn
