All three Midways were stationed in the Atlantic or Med as they were earmarked for defense against the Soviets. They were considered part of the US nuclear umbrella over Europe. The US and UK had plenty of other carriers to use in the "Police Action" in Korea.

Thanks, I went to a Trumpeter product site but it was not that one and no mention. Well good box art, and is the 41 out of place?
The Midway straight deck were good looking and I expect will build into an impressive model in 1/700. Poor old Coral Sea, always on the outer but she had to be different.
Why didn't the USN test them on Korea station? Previous Message

Hi All,
Trumpeter has announced a 1/700 kit of USS Midway (CV-41). Looks to be in her 1945 fit, though the box art has her hull number on the funnel.
Just FYI.
