USS Midway is an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class. Commissioned a week 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 and the only remaining U. S. aircraft carrier commissioned right after World War II ended, not an Essex-class aircraft carrier. Midway was laid down 27 October 1943 in Shipway 11 at Newport News Shipbuilding Co. Newport News, Virginia. After shakedown in the Caribbean, Midway joined the U. S. Atlantic Fleet training schedule, with Norfolk as its homeport. From 20 February 1946, it was the flagship for Carrier Division 1. In March, it tested equipment and techniques for cold-weather operations in the North Atlantic.
In September 1947, a captured German V-2 rocket was test-fired from the flight deck in Operation Sandy, the first large-rocket launch from a moving platform, the only moving-platform launch for a V-2. While the rocket lifted off, it tilted and broke up at 15,000 feet. On 29 October 1947, Midway sailed for the first of its annual deployments with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. Between deployments, Midway trained and received alterations to accommodate heavier aircraft as they were developed. In June 1951, Midway operated in the Atlantic off the Virginia Capes during carrier suitability tests of the F9F-5 Panther. On 23 June, as Cdr. George Chamberlain Duncan attempted a landing in BuNo 125228, a downdraft just aft of the stern caused Duncan to crash, his plane's forward fuselage broke away and rolled down the deck, he suffered burns. Footage of the crash has been used in several films, including Men of the Fighting Lady and The Hunt for Red October. In 1952, the ship participated in North Sea maneuvers with NATO forces.
On 1 October, the ship was redesignated CVA-41. Midway cleared Norfolk 27 December 1954 for a world cruise, sailing via the Cape of Good Hope for Taiwan, where it joined the 7th Fleet for operations in the Western Pacific until 28 June 1955. During these operations, Midway pilots flew cover for the evacuation from the Quemoy-Matsu crisis from the Tachen Islands of 15,000 Chinese nationalist troops and 20,000 Chinese civilians, along with their livestock. Controversy arose during the cruise when the Midway docked in South Africa. Democratic senator Herbert Lehman sent a telegram to Secretary of the Navy Charles Thomas when he learned of a supposed United States Navy plan to segregate 400 non-European members of the crew of the Midway while it was in Cape Town. Fellow Democrat senator Hubert Humphrey soon joined Lehman, additionally sending a letter to the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, asking that'immediate steps be taken to see that equal treatment is given to American service personnel allowed shore leave in South Africa, or eliminate Cape Town as a port of call', that:'To me this is a shocking of discrimination that should not be tolerated by our Government.
Every American soldier or sailor is an American regardless of race, colour or creed, is entitled to be respected and treated as such anywhere in the world.'An anonymous Navy official stated that the Department of the Navy did not know of the arrangements that were to be made between the officers of the Midway and South African authorities, that African-American members of the crew would not be segregated while still aboard the Midway. Clarence Mitchell Jr. urged Thomas not to allow the Midway to dock at Cape Town. James H. Smith Jr. Acting Secretary of the Navy at the time, replied that the stop at Cape Town was to'satisfy an operational logistic requirement.' and that it was customary to observe local laws and regulations while visiting foreign ports. Captain Reynold Delos Hogle of the Midway stated that while in port, the Midway would be United States territory and federal United States laws would apply. In the end, the crew of the Midway were not made to abide by Apartheid, saying that'At Hartleyvale this afternoon and at the concert to-night and non-European members of the crew have been asked to attend.
There will be no segregation whatsoever'. On 28 June 1955, the ship sailed for Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, where Midway underwent an extensive modernization program. Midway received an enclosed hurricane bow, an aft deck-edge elevator, an angled flight deck, steam catapults, returning to service on 30 September 1957. Home ported at Alameda, Midway began annual deployments with the 7th Fleet in 1958, in the South China Sea during the Laotian Crisis of spring 1961. During the 1962 deployment, the ship's aircraft tested the air defense systems of Japan, Okinawa, the Philippines, Taiwan. Midway again sailed for the Far East 6 March 1965, from mid-April flew strikes against military and logistics installations in North and South Vietnam. Returning to Alameda on 23 November, Midway entered San Francisco Bay Naval Shipyard on 11 February 1966 for a massive modernization, which proved expensive and controversial; the flight deck was enlarged from 2.8 to 4 acres, the angle of the flight deck landing area was increased to 13.5 degrees.
