San Diego Calif. (Jan 10 2004) -- The decommissioned aircraft
carrier Midway prepares to moor at 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. For more information on her history
with the U.S Navy go to the following link: USS Midway . U.S. Navy photograph by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Arlo K. Abrahamson. (RELEASED)

Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier HMS Illustrious is escorted by tugs
as she returns to Portsmouth following her refit in Scotland. HMS
Illustrious returned to her Portsmouth home today (July 7) after
completing a �40m maintenance and upgrade programme in Scotland. The
22000 tonne ship affectionately known as Lusty was in the Rosyth
dockyard in Fife for 16 months where she underwent modifications to turn
her into a helicopter and commando carrier capable of carrying a force
of up to 20 helicopters and 600 fully kitted out personnel. Since
leaving Rosyth on June 18 Illustrious has been undergoing sea trials off
the UK coast. She will carry out further tests off the south coast
before returning to the RN fleet at the end of this month.
