No way Midway could anywhere near 35, much less thirty, especially with the stabilizing bulges added in her senior years.
I have it on good authority from various MMs and BTs with whom I'd served who'd steamed the Midway and Coral Sea who stated 32 knots was possible on both of those boats, but the boilers were nearly out of air and smoking black. (I suppose the same was also possible aboard the FDR, but I was a west coast sailor.)
