The Midway is going to become a museum down here in San Diego. She's almost 60 years old, and she was starting to have problems due to overweight and the measures taken to relieve said overweight. (She was blistered in the 1980s, and the result was that she needed very calm seas for flight ops--she also had an unfortunate tendency to slamming in moderately heavy seas.)

They cut slots into those blisters and pretty much restored her water line. From what I have heard and saw Kitty Hawk is nearly in the best shape of her life. The JNs know how to repair and take care of a ship unlike the old ship yard at Philly I was happy when they closed that rat hole.
