	Midway class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Midway class vessels were originally conceived as a thought experiment to determine the effect on the size on an air group of including an armored flight deck on the tonnage of an Essex-class ship; the resulting calculations showed that the effect would be disastrous for air group size.
		Unlike the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, for which the amrored deck was part of the ship structure, the Midway class retained their "strength deck" at the hangar deck level and the armored flight deck was part of the superstructure.
		Midway had one last war in which to participate, and was one of the six aircraft carriers deployed by the US against Iraq in the Gulf War.

	aircraft carrier
		Aircraft carriers are generally the largest ships operated by navies; a Nimitz-class carrier powered by two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines is 1092 ft (333 m) long and costs about $5 billion.
		Aircraft carriers are generally accompanied by a number of other ships, to provide protection for the relatively unwieldy carrier, to carry supplies, and to provide additional offensive capabilities.
		Aircraft carriers played a significant role in World War II, the most notable of which is considered to be the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

	Forrestal class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Forrestal-class aircraft carriers were a four-ship class designed and built for the United States Navy in the 1950s.
		Compared to the Midway class, the Forrestals were 100 feet longer and nearly 30 feet beamier, resulting in a far more stable and comfortable aircraft platform even in very rough weather.
		The subsequent Kitty Hawk class moved the portside elevator to the aft end of the angle and reversed the position of the island and the second starboard elevator, vastly improving aircraft handling.

	Shinano class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Laid down as the third Yamato-class battleship, it was decided to complete her as a carrier after the ugly events at Midway.
		Given her size (72,000 tons full load - damn near the size of a 1950's -vintage U.S. Forrestal-class supercarrier) she would have carried a pretty minimal number of planes, some 45-55.
		Because of her prodigious bunkerage and ordnance stowage space, it was intended that she operate as both a carrier and a replenishment vessel.

	USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV 42)
		The Navy later denies that the carrier hit an object, claiming instead that a propeller had broken.

		A new, major development in carrier fire prevention occured on 26 May 1969 when USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT put to sea from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Va., after an 11-month overhaul which included installation of a deck edge spray system using the new seawater compatible fire-fighting chemical, Light Water.
