There was some specification on with the Midway that prevented F-14's from being deployed on it. Up until it was decomissioned it had a couple of F-4 squadrons attached to it. It is too old any way at nearly 60. The Indy, maybe.

The Midway can haldle the F/A-18 as she had 3 squadrons before decommissioning and the only problem with the F-14 is the Midway's Hangers are too small for the tail like the S-3B the Midway has recovered and launched 14's in the past. The new F/A-18 E/F would make her just as powerful as any other carrier.
