The Midway did not launch until late 1945. I have a Marine who shows up on a roster for AG-41 on 17 Sept 1942. How is this possible? I don't have the roster only the summary on the internet.

Google is your friend. AG-41 was a cargo ship re-named USS Panay in 1943 so that the CV-41 could take the name 'Midway'

That is interesting. Two different ships lost the name Midway so the Aircraft Carrier Midway could get its name.
