The Midway was put into mothballs in 91/92 and turned into a museum without poweplant, propellers and steering in 99, most of its machinery would have been removed shortly after decomissioning.

This is a great example of potential V1 vs V2 differences. Given the Midway was still active for desert storm I could certainly see its continued operation if the cold war never ended.
