Taking into consideration the lessons learned from the Pacific battles in 1942, the U.S. Navy started designing an aircraft carrier with a reinforced hangar and flight deck. The new aircraft carrier design aimed to offer protection against 203 mm shells and 610 mm torpedoes. USS Midway was commissioned eight days after the end of World War II. Midway held the status of being the largest ship in the world until 1955. In 2004, she found her final home in San Diego, where she was transformed into a museum ship.
