USS Midway (CV-41)

USS Midway (CV-41) was an aircraft carrier commissioned by the United States Navy shortly after World War II, entering service in 1945. Serving for nearly 47 years, she played a pivotal role during the Cold War, participating in major operations such as the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm. Notably, Midway was the flagship during the Gulf of Tonkin incident and was instrumental in the evacuation of Saigon in 1975. Decommissioned in 1992, USS Midway is now preserved as a museum ship in San Diego, California.
