USS Midway

USS Midway Museum

The USS Midway is docked in San Diego as a floating Museum. It is an excellent tour ... but be sure to be ready to spend more than just a couple of hours there! It's worth half or all day!

The USS Midways sits at her dock, just south of the cruise ship terminal. On tour one is given a headset with an audio-tour commentary that begins here. Look how thin that mattress is! Must be very uncomfortable! Anchor-chain chamber. The Midways weapon-control computers. Wow ... an old UNIVAC! It's the 16kb version! Yeesh! The ship's mess. Look at the ovens! And the sauce/soup pots1 What Luxury! The ship's surgery. The Ship's sickbay. Ejection chairs. Themacmonk seated and ready to go! RevNeal, holding on for dear life! Jets on the flight deck! The hot end of a Tom Cat! More aircraft on the flight deck ... The "Island" -- command and control, Flag Bridge and Carrier Air Group Command. Close up of the Flight deck operations center.
