I served on the Midway
53-55. Truly a great ship. We made a 7 month Med Cruise and then
the transit to West Pac with the 7th Fleet. I've visited the ship
twice at San Diego. Worthwhile |

commission at Bremerton, WA in late '55. A great tour of duty!!! |

I served from late 52
early 55, got transferred to the Saipan when she went to
Washington for overhaul on the deck. I was the fly 3 phone talker
primarily and also worked fly 1. Was on the flight deck all the
time. Remember when the Banshee bounced from #3 elevator and
landed on the planes forward with the pilots still in them, also
when we or a Destroyer we were refueling collided with us and took
out all our starboard guns from the island back, I can still see
the mast of the destroyer leaning over towards us as I went out to
the middle of the flight deck thinking it was going to crash into
the catwalk aft. |

My thanks to Troy for
putting this terrific site together. I trust it will be there for
a long time. I was onboard from Jan '74 - Jan '76 in the "A" gang
O2N2 Shop and when in port Yokosuka, I had a house in Kamakura
with good friend Eddie Hall, Jesse and had some great times. For
those that remember - thanks and never forget our home for so many
days and nights "Midway". In 1995, I had the privilege to go on
board the Midway with my 7 year old son with just one yard worker
for about 2 hours - going to the compartments where I slept
showered and lost my wisdom teeth on the way to Singapore etc...
Amazing time and opportunity to say the least. |

I was a crewmember
aboard the Midway 1980-1982 B-Div. Oil Lab. What a great
experience (especially that its been over for a few decades) I
would not change a thing. I'm looking forward to visiting San
Diego and touring the museum. |

Thanks for access to
this dynamic website. I am trying to find info regarding a sailor
that was sucked into the intake of an aircraft aboard the USS
Constellation CVA-64, and any accidents or mishaps that occurred
between 68 and 72. |

I served on the Midway
from 73 to 75. Most of the time I worked in the Movie Booth
picking out the movies for the crew and repairing the projectors
with Lloyd Ross. Anyone know where he is? |

I'm a volunteer docent
onboard the MIDWAY MUSEUM. What a great site. Hope you all can
come and see the ship as she is now. HINT: If you have a base
sticker on your car, you can park free on the east side of the
Navy Supply Depot across the street from the Midway and walk
through the building. Also, the parking meters on the street do
not work on Sundays. Double-check and read the regs on the meter
just to make sure. |
