I was on the
Midway from 1982-1984. I agree it was the best carrier ever. The food was
great too. |

I have been
searching for Robert Calderwood who was aboard the USS MIDWAY during 1975.
He helped my family and I want to personally thank him and reunite him
with my siblings. I was in my mother's womb at the time and my family did
not speak English. I have pictures of him. Can someone please get back to
me and let me know how I can go about locating him |

* Great web sight, guys ! -
I'm just an OLD dental tech,( One of those worthless rates), from '68 to
'71. Before the Midway I had the pleasure of being stationed and lived at
base housing at Hunters Point Shipyard. My only daughter was born out
there, and passed away in '76. Been looking for OLD photographs of IN &
AROUND the shipyard for years, so that I can re-create some history for my
daughter, ours were all lost in a basement flood years ago. If any
surface, you can forward them to me, I've got one of those "Cadillac"
printers.
Thanks,
Don |

Are all the
specifications on the EA-6B really necessary, even though your webpage is
great, your webpage is available for world-wide viewing. On our base, we
were directed to take down any photographs or any specifications that
could give the terrorists anymore additional information then what they
needed to know. Since we are mainly a prowler base, we have had recently a
lot of interested Middle Easterners occasionally passing by our base, one
such person and it is documented in the Whidbey Island Times, they found
traces of dynamite in a rental truck right outside our base. Just FYI. |

Ok, I am signing my own
guestbook here in response to this entry. The above message was left by an anonymous ADC from NAS Whidbey
Island.
My response:
Yes, all those specifications
are necessary. None of them are classified and are readily available
anywhere. This information was gathered from books, magazines, and the
Internet. None of the specifications endangers any Prowler aircrew or
gives away the plane's secrets. In fact, I have deliberately left the
information slightly out of date. Once again, those specifications are
necessary to the content of my website. Yes, it is a world-wide website
and if any terrorist does read those specs, I hope it strikes fear into
his or her cowardly heart.
