Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSS Midway (CV-41) heavily rolling during sea trials in 1986.jpg | The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41) rolling in moderate seas during sea trials, in late 1986. During her 1986 refit (named "Extended Incremental Selected Repair Availability"), blisters had been added that seriously affected the ship's stability. She took water over the flight deck during excessive rolls in moderate seas, thereby hampering flight operations. Before another $138 million refit was approved to rectify the stability problems, it was even proposed to decommission Midway. Nevertheless, she had earned herself the nickname "Rock'n Roll carrier". |
