The Midway is a now a tourist site in San Diego. Spent about 8 hours wandering the huge ship.

@n7565j 5 лет назад

I did too back in 2012... I walked all over that ship and could swear I heard sailors going about their daily chores... So glad they preserved her !!!

@davidgoldin5759 5 лет назад

I'd like to visit it too if I ever get back to San Diego. It's really sad that the Midway that was integral to our victory in WWII couldn't be saved and was scrapped.

Indeed, we are! Stay connected with us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see what we are up to onboard now-a-days: www.midway.org/social-media/

I spend a few hours in 08 perusing too. But spent 11 months in 1972 on her in combat. It was the crew that made her sing.

@@will1951 Hello Shipmate! I was aboard at the same time. I was an OSSN and at that time worked in O/I Division (Operations & Intelligence). I was on her when we steamed into Yokosuka thru Tokyo Bay. Were you on board that day? What was your rate and Division? Darn I miss the Midway Magic. It's on my bucket list to go to San Diego and go aboard again!

@@AutumnThe_Toaster my sympathies. My own grandfather got asbestosis from working for the Navy. It's a shame that our country cannot take proper care of those who have worked so hard to keep us all free.

My dad was onboard for that cruise, and I have his yearbook. Pretty sure I saw him in the Haiti footage. I still have his wooden machete and wooden cigarette dispenser handmade Haiti tourist stuff. He told a story about one of those new fancy jets being parked in the hanger bay with the wheels un-chocked. The command decided to see how fast their carrier could turn, and plonk went the jet right out of the hanger and into the drink.

The narrator is so over the top: fledging pilots, a keen eyed intelligence officer... they were other times.

The DD at 4:05 info. ~ USS Charles R. Ware (DD-865), was a Gearing-class destroyer of the United States Navy in service from 1945 to 1974. After her decommissioning, she was sunk as a target in 1981. I wonder who sank her Naval guns or Aircraft and where. The second destroyer at 5:38 info. ~ USS Vogelgesang (DD-862) was a Gearing-class destroyer in the United States Navy. She was named for Rear Admiral Carl Theodore Vogelgesang USN.

At this time they were called the "A4D", as the unified tri-service designations didn't come until 1962.

I see you snuck in a little footage of the FDR (CV-42) for jet handling - wasn't the Midway reconfigured for jets when this was made?

@denniswhite166 3 года назад

Probably not because I don't see any steam from the Cats (catapults). These planes didn't need a "little push" to get airborne like a jet does.

@keithlukens4400 Месяц назад

@@denniswhite166I feel like it's worth noting that the USA midway didn't actually receive steam catapults until its reconstruction in 1970.

@@keithlukens4400 I must have been having a "senior moment" When I wrote that post. I remember seeing steam come from the cats. I started serving on Midway in 71 caught up with her at Yankee Station.
