USS Midway CV-41 CVW5 ping. Those were some of the best years of my life.

I visited the Midway, while it was ported at Yokosuka. They held an Open House on the base. Lots of fun.

I never served aboard her, but she was a fine ship nonetheless. Saw her plenty of times when I was station dito at Subic Bay in the 1980's. Several of my shipmates from my time in Subic Bay came there after serving on the Midway. I know Subic was like her second homeport. Below are links to a couple of USS Midway Alumni or Nostalgia websites and the USS Midway Musuem website in case you wish to check them out.

When were you on the USS Midway and what squadron; or were you part of the ship’s crew?
