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

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.

I did the tour of the USS MIDWAY now docked for good at San Diego, and read the stories about the scores of sailors killed and injuried over the years, not to mention the hard life on board with no A.C., crowded bunking, high noise levels and months at sea.

I’m glad I enlisted in the Air Force after that tour.
