  • I was an Electronics Technician onboard from 82-84 and 86-88. I had both good and bad times on the Midway, but it has turned out to be the only ship out of 7 that I served on that I care to remember. I checked onboard for the first time the day I turned 21, and left for the last time the day I turned 27. Saw it in Bremerton for a COC ceremony in ~95, it looked terrible, but I visited Midway as a museum in 2010 and I started to tear up almost immediately, it looked how I remembered it. Good job!

  • I lived there from 1972 to 1974 while in Yokosuka, Japan

  • MY FATHER REPAIR THAT SHIP IN SBMA, PHILIPPINS IN 1987 HAHAHAHA! MY FATHER ALREADY REPAIRED 8 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, 2 BATTLESHIPS AND A DOZEN'S OF DESTROYERS AND ALMOST A DOZEN OF SUBMARINE IN SBMA! PHILIPPINES! SINCE 1982-1992 WHEN THE CONGRESS AGREE TO REMOVE THE US SOLDIERS IN PHILIPPINES, I DONT KNOW WHYxd

  • Thankyou, did some additional research and found that she indeed never engaged any enemy aircraft herself. Her airgroup on the other hand did engage in some of the limited air-to-air combat that presented itself during Vietnam including BOTH the first and last air-to-air kills of Vietnam which accounts infact for 5 of those 8 shillouettes.

  • USS Reagan just came back today with 3 other warships 10/21/09

  • at the top deck you can see red drawings of planes and there a 8 drawings there are 2 of them that are different from the other six and there you have it.

  • When? She was commisioned too late to serve in WWII and the last time a US carrier group was subjected to direct air attack was WWII.

  • the USS Midway shot down 2 bombers and 6 fighters :P

  • i was there 2 years ago is was cool

  • if u go on it make sure u see every little thing.
