 History on FJ-3M 442

Even tho it doesn't say 442 was operating on CV-41 USS Midway. In this picture it was on a interceptor mission, intercepting one MiG-15. It's armed with two drop tanks (Left is AL capone Right is Sweet o'L Bessie) it would soon be shot down, by a friendly fire incident resulting to the pilot ejecting after major engine problems. No one was hurt however.
