Take the Carrier by the Horns (USS Midway)

Description

The "horns" extend past the end of the flight deck, they were part of the launch system.

The lead ship of her class, USS Midway (CV 41) served from 1945-1992. Midway participated in the Vietnam War, the evacuation of Saigon and the Persian Gulf War. She was also the US's first forward-deployed carrier homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. She is now a well-done museum ship with many open spaces, aircraft and just as importantly, a crew of veterans to talk about aviation or life on a carrier. 70 years old and she still has a purpose.
