I served aboard the Midway on westpac
1965 with HU1. I have a lot of memories of the Midway, some fond
and some not so fond. As the evacuation of the USS Frank Knox
after it ran aground on a reef. We removed 155 personnel from the
Knox and everyone came up the rescue hoist. And riding out a
typhoon with 100 mph wind across the deck. |

I served onboard from 8-84 to 7-86,
was the highlight of 4 years in Navy. Great memories of the
liberty ports and being up on the bridge as quartermaster. Going
to San Diego in July to tour hotel 41.

I served aboard from 1978-1981 in S-1
division. One Hell of a place to grow up. I wish I could go back
to sea on her and see all of the ports that we visited or meet the
friends that I once knew. If they ever bring her back let me know
I'll serve on her again.....proudly |

aka "Scotty" YN3 X-Division, Served
aboard 1974 to 1976. Onboard for Operation Frequent Wind.
Would like to hear from my old shipmates again. I visited the
Midway again after 30yrs, seeing her again brought back a lot of
memories long forgotten. She is the finest & newest Aircraft
Carrier Museum. San Diego is very lucky to have her home again
where she belongs. Just wish I lived closer to see her more often. |

My dad Thomas Rice served on the
Midway 1941 to 1945. My dad passed away 10/2004. Always talked
about his navy days. Will be visiting the ship the week of July
15th with my family. Have a picture of the crew and my dad in his
uniform. How do I go about getting this on display? Thanks
