USS Midway (CV-41) below-decks walk-through in 5K! September 2022 

Thank you for the video. Midway was my home for two years, 1979 to 1981. It was nice to see some of the areas that I remember. I have been back aboard twice, once before it was refurbished and once in 2006. I would love to go back. I served on five ships and Midway was my favorite. Of the five three are now razor blades and one serves in Turkey. Again, thank you.

My wife brought this old veteran( me) for my birthday. It was a amazing day and humbling knowing all the people that bravely served on that proud ship .

I'm there 2-3 times a week now training as a Docent. Really love this amazing historically significant ship. Best part is I get to hang with all the amazing veterans of this ship...and others including aviators. I have a classmate that was a Top Gun aviator and flew f-14 Tomcats. As you walked through I was naming all the spaces - good practice for me - thanks.

Great tour, my A school buddy was on the midway. I went to the Nimitz. this was back in 90. thanks

Served on the Coral Sea during the 80s. I could almost smell breakfast when you went through the chow hall . I actually liked the dehydrated eggs covered in hot sauce .

wow so nice!

I was on board from 83,85. VF-151. Thanks for the video.

Great tour…….Thank You! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Great video thank you 😊

I spent four years on the Forrestal, Carrier life , nothing like it , cool vid 👍

We had those typewriters when I was in Army as clerk

LOL! I saw my old rack from 1985 @ 32:00.Funny thing; I NEVER saw almost any of those other spaces on the tour. Sure didn't recall the First Class mess being located where it said it was. I thought it was off from the AFT mess decks...

VA-115 1981-83. VA-185 1987-89 aboard Midway Magic. Been on it twice for reunions. USS Saratoga CV60 was first Carrier VA-105 Gunslingers 1972-75.

Can’t believe mess hall open looks operational the battleship New Jersey tour was limited

O country always seemed a little nicer than the rest of the ship.

It’s also crazy to think that, if this ship was thrown into a dry dock for a few months, it could be out defending our country again, and it STILL would be a better carrier than most countries have today (cough cough admiral kiznetsov lmao😂👍)

It’s sad to think that all the other Essex class ships that looked identical (mostly) to this ship are either now refrigerators and pop cans, or at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean 😢 I know it’s a blessing that we managed to save 5 of them, and I also know we can’t save every single warship, 1, because our coastlines would be chalked full of unused ships, to the point of being unusable, and 2, because even if we did manage to save all warships with some sort of prestige due to battles won, we wouldn’t have enough money to keep them all in museum condition .. they’d all just rot away slowly, like us Texas did before she got 100,000,000 dollars worth of reconditioning It’s just a shame that we throw these hulks away like they’re nothing.. uss nevada is a prime example of a ship that damn well should have been preserved.. she went through hell during the pearl harbour attack.. hundreds of sailors died in her hull, and she was literally raised from her grave, like a mid 20th century Lazarus, repaired and pressed back into service to show the Japanese that even our ships that were considered destroyed beyond repair are still capable of returning from the dead and killing everything in front of it, like the reaper himself .. yet, at the end of the war, we painted her completely red and dropped a nuke on her head like she meant absolutely nothing (which, to the admiralty was probably true.. all she represented at that point was gunnery target experience).. a ship like that deserved to wear and show off her war medals to the country she served and protected for a few decades 😢😞

I was on board 72-75, B Div-Oil Lab, Engineering Dept.

I got aboard in 1983 the mess deck looks nothing like I remember didn't know of the refurbish, that was throwing me off abit

A very different layout from the Nimitz Class Carriers.

It's to bad that you could not show the 'bulls-eye' for the compts you visited.

Mannequins look creepy didn’t have them on battleship New Jersey

Those racks were long

Awesome video

Thank you for protecting Japan. From yokosuka.

30:24. How come the prisoner in the brig is black? And why does he have a Cab Calloway haircut? LOL. You're gonna get comments now!

Camera movement gave me a headache, had to turn it off.Movement was too fast, made me dizzy.

They have opened so much more. Last time I was there was in 2010.

camera is moving so fast I got dizzy
