We had a very intereting today touring the USS Midway. The ship was first sent to sea in 1945 and ended the career in 1991.

We have never been on an aircraft carrier. Yes it is huge. He answered my question to how many planes are on deck when planes are flying off and on. He said they carry 70 planes, so that is including the planes that are flying around and those that have repair issues. The plane elevator can take two planes on them and it only takes 10 seconds to get the plane from flight deck to hanger deck. (or the opposite.)

Very informative. Enjoyed this very much.
