I was aboard
several days before the commissioning. Spent 9 months aboard. Was on
"OPERATION FROSTBITE" as well as several shakedown cruses. I am more than
likely the only person alive to have walked under the keel of the ship.
(while in drydock) Also the Navy Day celebration on the Hudson river N.Y.
1945. |

Great site for
a great ship. I flew F-4's with VF-151 from the Midway from 1971 to 1973.
I saw lots of action over North Vietnam. I'd never do it again, but
wouldn't trade it for the world. |

Was onboard
the Midway when she was hit by the Cactus. The tail assemblies of the
alert F-4's were destroyed. The ship sustained heavy damage to the angle
deck such that we returned to the ship yard at Subic for awhile. We went
to GQ with a high risk of fire. Was onboard with a brother, hoped he would
survive. Was friend to one of the sailors who died. Was a bad time. |

I would like
to know if there is a roster out there of the sailors, enlisted who served
on this carrier. My father served during the Vietnam War, but I don't find
any registers listing him as being on the Midway, Saratoga or Bon Homme
Richard, when he was serving on them. |
