Historical Information
The USS Midway (CVB-41) was laid down on 27 October 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia, launched on 20 March 1945, and commissioned on 10 September 1945. She entered service just days after the formal Japanese surrender and therefore did not see combat in World War II.
Midway became an important Cold War test and fleet carrier, participating in Operation Frostbite in 1946 and launching a captured German V-2 during Operation Sandy in 1947. She later saw extensive combat service in Vietnam, supported Operation Frequent Wind in 1975, and flew combat sorties during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
