Never was stationed on
a carrier, but had hundreds of shipmates who were. Went aboard the
Midway 2004 in San Diego, was very impressed.

I was on her
1990-decom, V-1. Does anyone remember when Ramons drove the
tractor over the side and he said the brake give out and Big Bubba
singing karaoke out on the Honch, and of course we had to jog and
workout on the flight deck during quarters. Still don't miss the
days of needle gunning padeyes hungover. Great web site, brought
back fun times. |

Midway Sailors,
You guys have had the good fortune to have the USS Midway
preserved. Your Coral Sea brothers are very thankful for that. We
can at least relive the feelings of what it's like to be aboard a
Midway Class carrier when we visit.
You're also all extremely fortunate to have a webmaster as
talented as Troy Prince. He puts in a tremendous amount of effort
in bringing this website, the ship, the memories, alive. This is
by far one of the best military websites out there!
I hope the Midway lives on for very long time. Our class of
carriers were the workhorse's of the fleet. They met every
challenge thrown at them and outlasted just about every other
carrier that has sailed.
Great ship, Great site!!

Absolutely terrific
website. I was only a poor Kitty Hawk sailor, but a friend of mine
and a guy who showed me the ropes was AT2 Mark Wilson who came to
Kitty Hawk from Midway. We served together in IM-3 division in the
mid to late 1970's. He was from New York and worked in the
Variable Avionics System Test (VAST) work center or shop. |

Great site for a great
ship. I didn't serve upon this ship but did on USS America CV-66.
Go to
ussamerica.org to see a failed attempt to get her donated as a
museum. She will be sunk by "live fire" in April of this year. I
attended the "farewell" at the Philly Yards in Feb. It's a good
thing we have museums like the Midway for our future generations
to come. I will be checking back often, kinda miss the 'bird
farms'....By the way, I was ships company, 72-75 , SM3 |

This site is
wonderful. My grandfather, Robert C. Doyle, was a career naval
photographer. He served on the Midway during the Korean War. I'm
wondering if anyone out there might have known him. Thanks for
this great site. |

Hangar bay red shirt
only on it thirteen months 86-87. Anyone remember the hornet that
lost a sidewinder off the plane upon landing? Had a friend who got
a photo of it and gave me a copy. Glad to see CV-41 is not going
to end up in the scrap heap!!! Go Navy! |

Shipmate,
Great website, Bravo Zulu!!!!! Served onboard the same period you
did, I was in VA-185, we probably passed each other in the
passageway, or perhaps sat at the same bar in PI, Thailand or
Perth. Maybe we stood at the "infamous" hot dog wagon on the mess
deck.
I will never forget the morning we started bombing in Desert Storm
and the Admiral summed it with this statement (Or words to this
effect) on the 1MC: "SHIPMATES THIS IS WAR AND YOU ARE IN IT" |
