Visited the USS Midway. It’s a huge, former Navy ship aircraft carrier that’s seen some things! 🛫⛴️

From Wiki: The USS Midway was commissioned 8 days 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 is the only remaining inactive U.S. aircraft carrier that is not an Essex-class aircraft carrier

"Tugboats and U.S. Navy warships pictured in the Hudson River with the New York City skyline and Central Park in the background on occasion of the Navy Day on October 27, 1945. Pictured at the extreme left of the photograph is USS Midway (CVB-41) and immediately in front of her are USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Missouri (BB-63). Smoke lingers over the 'Big E' from the 21-gun salute she rendered to USS Renshaw (DD-499) carrying the U.S. president Harry S. Truman. Renshaw is visible abeam of Midway and is trailed by USS Welles (DD-628) and USS Hobby (DD-610) and USS Finnegan (DE-307)."
