The USS Midway (CV-41) was built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia. Construction began in 1943, and the aircraft carrier was commissioned on September 10, 1945. It was named after the Battle of Midway, a pivotal naval battle in World War II. The ship served in the U.S. Navy for 47 years before being decommissioned in 1992.

Is the USS Midway larger than the Titanic?

There were three ships that had "Midway" as her name. Assuming you mean the aircraft carrier USS Midway (commissioned in 1945, a floating museum today), it is longer and wider, thanks to its flight deck (both World War II-era and after it was modernized).
