Visited the USS Midway today.
When it was active, it was the oldest carrier in the fleet. It was launched near the end of WWII, so it's not as big as the current Nimitz class or even the decommissioned Forrestal Class.
Despite that, it's still pretty big. A big tourist trap as well with pitches to buy stuff, get your picture taken and eating at the overpriced Fantail Cafe (that doesn't take credit cards!).
It's still an interesting piece of history. Even if it was slutted out as a beeg tourist trap.
