To Navy fans:
The carrier Midway is berthed in San Diego. It is now a museum featuring airplanes from nearly every era. Of special interest is the RA-5 Vigilante Navy bomber. This nuclear bomb-capable jet was taken out of service once our boomer fleet came into being.
The Midway is the only aircraft carrier born a straight decker, then converted to an angle deck. Touring the ship take a full day...

USS Essex started her career as a straight deck carrier only to be converted to an angled deck after WWII.

No. The British developed the angled deck, first refitting HMS Triumph. USS Midway was the first American ship be rebuilt with an angled deck. However, many of our Essex class carriers (mostly the long Essex Class ships) were rebuilt. If you come to New York City, you can see our museum ship, USS Intrepid. The "Evil I" has an angled deck. I loved it as a kid.
