Nice to know Newport News Shipbuilding is operational in the 23rd century...

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Awesome stuff. Kinda neat that they have mannequins in pilot gear sitting in the cockpits, and mock ordnance on the pylons.
I wanted to go see the Intrepid in NYC when I was there a couple of years back, but my friends weren't interested .

I think the Midway and the Coral Sea were the last two carriers in the US Navy to have Phantom IIs fly from them. I'm assuming those were eventually replaced with F/A-18s since that class of ship wasn't supposed to be able to handle F-14s.
Did they have any A-4s, A-7s or F-8s on hand? I would have thought they'd have been used all on the Midway at some point.

They had a A-7 and F-8 as well.
