Nope. The Midway carries fewer fighters because she also carries a division (? lots anyway) of marines + transports etc., has a sci & research division etc. So she basically fulfils the roll of carrier, troop transport and science vessel. Sortof a jack-of-all-trades but master of none.
Pros : Versatility, economy
Cons : Not as powerful as a 'specialized' vessel.
p.s. does anyone think it's weird that they preach that now it's peacetime the fighters can be more specialized, then turn round and do the opposite with their carrier?
