It was my privilege to serve aboard the great U.S.S. Midway late 1946 through early 1948 in the Supply Div. Enjoyed the 1947 Med. Cruise and remember the V-2 rocket launch and a hurricane. Am always on the lookout for old shipmates.

I went aboard Midway upon it's arrival at Yokosuka in 1973. I was the Ground Support Equipment or IM-4 Division Chief. I enjoyed my tour aboard Midway and even returned for another tour in 1977 to 78. Would like to hear from any of my former shipmates.

Just want to thank all the great people who have worked on the MIDWAY, since it moved to San Diego. Made my first visit (Sept 9th & 10th 2005). I was really impressed the way they treat all visitors and former crew members. As a former crew member, I was welcomed aboard with the ringing of the ship's bell, a special name tag, & invited to sign the guest log book. The people who do all the work, from the time I went aboard til I left the ship, I was treated with a lot of respect. If you have not visited the USS MIDWAY, you are really missing out on something. I was proud to have served aboard MIDWAY. Anyone who I passed on the street in San Diego & saw me wearing my Midway ball-cap, stopped and thanked me and stated what a wonderful museum, the MIDWAY was. THANK YOU >>>Mr. David Hanson; Mr. John Njaa; & Mr. Troy Prince, for what you and the volunteers, who have worked on the MIDWAY. I wish I lived in San Diego, so I could work on her, or just visit. So shipmates, save your pennies and plan a trip to San Diego, to see the USS MIDWAY. Even my wife shed a few tears with me, on the great ship.

I was with VA-115 from 12/88 to 1/92. Did the cross deck to Indy...hated it...then went on to AIMD Atsugi for
3 1/2 years. I was in 620 up-stairs and remember you from Midway and AIMD. I'm looking for "Kat" from GSE, she was there from 92-95 ...if anybody knows anything about her where-abouts, I'd love to hear it. Glad things are well with you. Thanks for the memories dude!

I worked on the Midway and the Independence as a Government Civil Servant with the Supply Department. I made a number of underway trips on both and had the pleasure of decommissioning the Midway in 1992 and the Indy in 1998. They both were great ships in their time.

Very nice site!!!
Actually I had a chance to tour Midway sometime in 1984. We were escorted by my dad's friend, his name is "Mike", I forgot his surname. If by any chance Mike can read my comment he's welcome to email me. I'll start looking for pictures of Midway in my storage room, and hopefully it will be added to this very exciting website.

Served in AIMD-IM3 ComNav from 88-90. Was there for the 24 degree roll, the big fire, bombing the Reeves, and all sorts of fun. Served with Mark Schwinden, Mike Gary, Mark Flake, (oni), Jason Fletcher, Max Fox, Dan Woda, Eric Davis, Matt Christie (Tyson) and a bunch of other lunatics. Saw the ship in San Diego. The IM3 berthing is open, although they have changed it around a bit.

Served on Midway from 9/73 to 12/93 USMC Squadron VMCJ-1 Det 101. Looking for information about midair collison between an EA-6A and an A-7 during these dates. A helicopter sent out that night crashed shortly after takeoff and decapitated a crewman aboard it who tried to jump out.
