Summary edit

Description
English: San Diego, Calif (Jan 10th, 2004) -- The decommissioned aircraft carrier Midway makes its way across the San Diego bay to its final resting place at Navy pier where it will become the largest museum devoted to carriers and naval aviation. The ship was temporarily moored at Naval Air Station North Island this past week so that preparations could be made to formally present the aircraft carrier to the city of San Diego. When commissioned on September 10, 1945 as USS Midway (CVB 41) she was the largest carrier ever put to sea.
