Midway

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Midway — American • Legendary Tier • Aircraft Carrier.

The largest U.S. Navy warship laid down during World War II. The huge size of this aircraft carrier allowed her to carry the largest air group compared to her contemporary counterparts. Excellent torpedo protection, well-armored flight deck, and powerful AA defenses made Midway-class ships virtually invulnerable to attacks from enemy aircraft.

Midway was released as a Bureau project reward on October 3rd, 2022.
