USS Midway Museum

[@travelingboz0214]

Thank you for the tour that refreshed my memory. Feb, 2022 the wife and I went aboard the USS Midway. What an excellent adventure in history. We were so lucky to be able to take in every aspect of the ship. So many onboard veterans of the Midway that took time to tell me their experiences. I am so grateful for each and every one for their patriotism. I found “Voices of Midway” presented in the Battle of Midway Theater inspirational!

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

Thank you so much for watching! Once this rain clears out I want to head over to the USS Hornet. It's about a 7 hour drive, but I can't wait to see her.

[@donnabremerman1423]

My dad served on the Midway '73 ~ "76 in VF-161 and has been a Midway volunteer since the beginning-almost 20 years. It's a great ship!

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

You have a brave Dad, And we all thank him for his service. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelstephenson5464]

I served on her in 1971 as a radioman. Deployed to WestPac or Yankee Station as it was called. Visited her in 2009. Tour to me through my workspace and berthing compartment. It brought back many memories.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

Thank You for your Service.

Outstanding job restoring my first home away from home. I was stationed aboard the USS Midway from 1979-1982. I was attached to bomber squadron VA-115, Eagles. It was the best four years of my Naval Career.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

Wow, so many people have said so many great things about the USS Midway. I can tell it was a fabulous Ship. Thank You, for your Service. and Thank You for Watching!

Duane Keating-I say the same thing, it was my best tour of duty in my Navy career (1978-1980). We were neighbors in the hangar deck, I was with HC1 Det 2 our shop was next to the big accumulator close to GSE shop.

[@bretgeren5695]

I was there the same time you were, Jan 80 to Jan 82. I was a jet mechanic in VF-161. I was invited to the Midway 12 years ago from my best friend who was also a mechanic and he retired as a LT Commander after serving 30 yrs and wanted to have his retirement ceremony on his first ship. Brought back a lot of memories. Yeah I remember VA-115

[@edrodriguez1615]

Nice job. Brought back a lot of memories. I served on the Midway from February 1962 to April 1964, and worked in the Legal Office. C Ya.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

I was born in August 1964, I want to say thank you for serving this great Country! Thanks for watching my Video.

The F-4 on deck represents the crews who flew the first and last MiG kills of the Vietnam War by Midway squadron Phantoms.

[@roberteytchison556]

My dad served on the Midway during Vietnam. He was one of the weather guys. Miss him.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

I want to thank You for having such a brave father and I will thank him, in my prayers for serving our country. Thank you for watching.

[@TysonNelson]

My father served in Vietnam on the USS Fox. Which was apart of another strike group, but he talked highly of the Midway's personel he met. I miss my father, too. But am proud of him. Thank you for sharing.

[@timtrace9175]

I was there this past July. It was better than the last time I was on her. 1989 while I was stationed with the Air Force in Japan.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

Oh wow, 33+ years ago, I bet that last visit brought back lots of memories. Thank you for your service. Thanks for watching.

[@TysonNelson]

I toured the USS Midway in September of 2014. I went everywhere on the ship except the bridge. The line to see the bridge was something like an hour long wait and I was on a business trip, so I unfortuantely didn't have the time to wait. Still sad about that. But it was an awesome experience. Highly recommend.

[@GoldenAnniversaryAdventure]

Excellent video! We were in San Diego in 2019 and didn't have tome to tour the Midway. Thanks for your video of your visit. Jane & I enjoyed it! Golden Anniversary Adventure

Those boiler rooms were very hot except in Sea of Japan then we were cold and had to ware our utility coats.

[@TheJd195555]

Great video. I served on USS MIDWAY off and on for two years while with DESTROYER SQUANDRON 15 (DESRON 15). I had a great time on the Grand Old Ship.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

Oh wow, that is super cool, Thank You for your service and I'm glad your here with us. Up until 1955 the USS Midway was the largest ship in the world. Thank You for watching my Video!

[@TheJd195555]

@@Giovanni_Adventures I remember when she used to be homeported in Alameda, California and later for many years in Yokosuka, Japan where I spent my two year sea duty assignment. Morale was very high and food was great.. and she also had a great captain to whom the crew loved to much. I would serve on her again if I could.

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

@@TheJd195555 wow, that's special. I shared your story to my family, they liked it. My father-in-law was in the Navy in 1951 and was on the USS Navasota, that ship was half the size of the USS Midway. His ship was sold for scrap metal in 1995. I'm glad they have the USS Midway for everybody to enjoy.

[@kimtaewoo9069]

My son love aircraft carrier & battle ship. How long does it takes to tour in the ship?

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

You can spend hours, they have a gift shop, food court, flight simulators. Movie area and they give tours and they have presentations. You could easily spend 4-5 hours on the USS Midway. I would check out the options on tickets they have a yearly pass for 2. $90. Or just a daily pass, ages 6-12 is $18. And adults $26. But check in advance because prices may change. Your son will like my next Video that I'm working on now, ( hint) A real Battle Ship. Happy New Year, And Thank You for watching.

Really enjoyed your "voyage" through the old girl and thought you might like a look back when she was last fully operational in 1991. This was the end of their journey from Desert Storm to SD via Pearl and Seattle. A lot of what you viewed is shown that will give a greater understanding than just mannikins. Enjoy the sonic boom! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKKXqH-Vrs94m5I

We're watching it right now, wow 1991. 31 years ago. Kinda sad, but I'm glad it's here for us to enjoy. My daughter's were te ones telling me to go on it, they went about a month before my wife and I went. Thank You, Thank You for watching.

Why must we pay to see we the people’s property? I never paid for being on the USS Midway when it was stationed in Japan before they modified to take on F-18A Hornet,

[@blaineedwards8078]

It's no longer public property. It's owned by a nonprofit with a board of directors, paid staff and volunteers. They depend on the admission fees and generous donations to maintain the ship and all the infrastructure so that it can remain open to the public for tours and events.

[@rodneylavergne4757]

Served on-boarded USS MIDWAY the lady for two years in the late 80s, first, get your lingo, the toilet facilities are not a latrine that's army it's the head. work on that if your going to post /there are multiple decks on board a ship

[@Giovanni_Adventures]

I was corrected and on the next Video I did on the Battleship USS Iowa. I mentioned that, and used the correct term, head. 😀 That was the first service ship I ever been on and I was excited and didn't do my research. Thanks for watching and Thank You for your service!
