- In response to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, the USS Midway Museum has created below-deck video tours led by our Midway volunteers! While select tour routes are closed during this time, we are excited to share these spaces with you via video in this series entitled, Midway Declassified.
ABOUT "CITY AT SEA" (2nd DECK)
The USS Midway was literally a floating city that had to support more than 4,500 sailors and officers when the ship was at sea. Galleys and wardrooms served more than 13,000 meals and 10,000 cups of coffee every day, and the ship’s laundry washed 43,000 pounds of clothes each week. There were post offices, barber shops, a hospital and even a chapel.

The USS Midway...truly a magical and unique experience. I've visited it TWICE! And I plan on doing it again!
My uncle was aboard on this carrier from 1960-1977.He was I think a first class seaman Loreto Ines from Philippines.He served in the navy for twenty years and finally retired in 1977.
My father was a storekeeper on the Midway during the 1954 Med cruise. I still have his scrapbook and cruise book.
She was my home in the early to mid 80s! Midway Magic!
Since we were forward deployed, we had steak and lobster every 2 weeks. The Chiefs did not need to procure them separately. I was a food service officer for 6 months.
My dad served on the Midway from 71 to 72 he was aviation technician on the A-7
Me and my family visited Midway Museum in San Diego... We were overwhelmed...an unforgettable site
I did a stint in the galley preparing veggies. No lobster when I served!
you didnt miss much.... the Baked potatoe bar in the forward galley was the bomb! 1991 era
ICFN Electric Gyroscope Technician, 1978-1980 Yokosuka, Japan...
Midway Magic...Gonzo Station..!
I loved the lobster tail and steak dinners before we went in for R & R. As a kid it was my first time I had lobster when I served aboard. Food was really pretty good.
I went to the uss midway the first time and i felt like precense of the ship, i heard rumors that the mannequins do move at night
“SOS”was the best😅
I was on sister ship FDR in the early 1960s. Not quite as nice as Midway in the Wardroom. Lots of little things not the same, but close. I don't think I would get lost, however. Some things never leave your memory.
Now they might be concerned, but ur full of it.
Heloo
2:28 damn.. 12 years and only an E6... .
That is fairly common depending on rating. If that rate was tight, no one made Chief until a Chief retired or died.
Let's not forget ,men of Midway who were incarcerated in it's Brigg , which was also on the 2nd Deck just forward of the 24 hr dining room .
The prisoners must walk with one finger hooked in the man's belt loop in front of them...( 12+ men long ) The first man , must yell , " Gangway every 3 steps ....or untill the surly- as-fuc Marine beside him , tells him ; ";Shuddap. !"
When you are serving the prisoners you must take caution , because , they have to eat everything in their tray . So a prisoner who has been served a food he doesn't want , has to ask you ( No talking ) ...remove the beans whatever.
The men from the Brigg , eat at the last table Port, in the 24 hour mess ..which is sort of away from the rest.
The Marine has them stand with their trays by their seats......and before letting them eat , he fucs with them .
( They all must follow whatever he says.)
So , " Pick-up-your- tray ..! " " Put -it - down ! " " Pick it up ! " ...."put it down "
" Pick up your glass ! " " Put it down ..!"
" Oh look .... , Murphy spilled his milk ...!.0K , he has to eat on the floor....!."
What ever lolol
