Stopping in San Francisco Bay

Are you folks aware that the Midway is scheduled to stop at berth 68 Port of Oakland for 90 day "touch up" ?
I am a volunteer on the USS Hornet and we have been "alerted" that linesmen and "chippers" will be needed for the "project".

 
Astoria Oregon shipyard "Cascade General" declined the "bid" for "prep" work due in condition that project was excessive of their capability........ Supposedly on completion of release protocol in Bremerton the ship should be arriving here the week of October 11th to 19th.

I was aboard the Midway from 1973 when she left San Fran for Japan until I was discharged in Sept. of 1974. My experiences onboard, the friends I made, and places I saw were some of the best memories of my life.

Found your site by looking for painting schemes for my models, very nice site, thank you for your effort. Never having been in the service, I am still a fanatic on ships, especially carriers and battleships. Thanks again.

I was an enlisted Marine at MCAS El Toro in 1956 and 1957. My MOS was 3500 Motor Transport. My last assignment was that of Staff Driver for Brig. General Thomas Dawson, Commanding General, 3 MAW. It was a most interesting assignment. Until his recent death, I was also a personal friend of Col. Bob Moser of MCAS El Toro.

Hi

Just came across your photos of Brawdy and wanted to say what a delight it was to see them. I was a young RAF pilot officer air traffic controller at Brawdy from 85-88 and remember the place with great fondness. I certainly remember working the Air Days (including the crash where I was being interviewed by BBC Radio Wales at the time!) Thanks for bringing back many memories.

Cheers

Troy, your website is very good! Bravo Zulu, shipmate!
I especially enjoyed the lack of clutter and the clean appointments you have done on the Website. It truly is worthy of Jake's 'Yankee Station'- USS Hancock CV/CVA-19 Memorial's Big E for Excellence Award! Look for it soon!

Came across your site while researching a question about the Midway. Great site. You have done a wonderful job of compiling material about Midway, CVW-5 and the great people who served on board. I was the C.O. of VAQ-136 when we moved from Whidbey to Midway in Feb 1980. Unfortunately, I wasn't on board very long, but I did enjoy the short time I was there. Best regards.
