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 .

Excellent pictures bd popeye!!!!

That is amazing!

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.
