Editing Midway-class aircraft carrier (section)

===1990s===
The [[Presidency of Ronald Reagan|Reagan era]] reprieve could not last. In 1990, ''Coral Sea'', which had long since earned the nickname "Ageless Warrior", was decommissioned. ''Midway'' had one last war in which to participate, and was one of the six aircraft carriers deployed by the U.S. against Iraq during [[Operation Desert Storm]].<ref>AR 600-8-27 p. 26 paragraph 9–14, p. 28 paragraph 2–14</ref> A few months after the campaign, ''Midway'' was decommissioned.

''Coral Sea'' was slowly scrapped at Baltimore as legal and environmental troubles continually delayed her fate. ''Midway'' spent five years in the mothball fleet at [[Bremerton, Washington]] before being taken over by a museum group. The ship is now open to the public at the [[USS Midway Museum|USS ''Midway'' Museum]] in [[San Diego, California]].
