- We spent a full day exploring the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier in San Diego, California and this is a fast walk-through of the areas below decks, captured at the very end of the day when it was the quietest.
I also captured the earlier part of this day as a time-lapse in 360° if you want to see more of this ship: • Time-Lapse of a visit ...
"USS Midway (CVB/CVA/CV-41) is an aircraft carrier, formerly of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class. Commissioned 8 days after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal. She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991's Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum, in San Diego, California, and is the only remaining inactive U.S. aircraft carrier that is not an Essex-class aircraft carrier." (Wikipedia)
This video was recorded using a GoPro 10 in 5k @ 60fps for maximum detail!
Thank you for the video. Midway was my home for two years, 1979 to 1981. It was nice to see some of the areas that I remember. I have been back aboard twice, once before it was refurbished and once in 2006. I would love to go back. I served on five ships and Midway was my favorite. Of the five three are now razor blades and one serves in Turkey. Again, thank you.
Hello Daniel! I am glad you enjoyed it!
I was there from 79-82 who were you with?
I was there also Engineer - BT
My wife brought this old veteran( me) for my birthday. It was a amazing day and humbling knowing all the people that bravely served on that proud ship .
Thanks for watching and your service!
@@AdamHems my next ship , I would like to see is the mighty Mo . Historical to say the least :)
I'm there 2-3 times a week now training as a Docent. Really love this amazing historically significant ship. Best part is I get to hang with all the amazing veterans of this ship...and others including aviators. I have a classmate that was a Top Gun aviator and flew
f-14 Tomcats. As you walked through I was naming all the spaces - good practice for me - thanks.
Very interesting perspective- thanks for sharing! I am glad it was helpful 😊
Great tour, my A school buddy was on the midway. I went to the Nimitz. this was back in 90. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and your service :-)
Served on the Coral Sea during the 80s. I could almost smell breakfast when you went through the chow hall . I actually liked the dehydrated eggs covered in hot sauce .

Thanks for your service!
LOL! I saw my old rack from 1985 @ 32:00.Funny thing; I NEVER saw almost any of those other spaces on the tour. Sure didn't recall the First Class mess being located where it said it was. I thought it was off from the AFT mess decks...
Thanks for watching and your service Steven!
VA-115 1981-83. VA-185 1987-89 aboard Midway Magic. Been on it twice for reunions. USS Saratoga CV60 was first Carrier VA-105 Gunslingers 1972-75.
Thanks for your service!
Can’t believe mess hall open looks operational the battleship New Jersey tour was limited
Thanks for your service - and for watching! :-)
O country always seemed a little nicer than the rest of the ship.
Thanks for watching, and your service!
It’s also crazy to think that, if this ship was thrown into a dry dock for a few months, it could be out defending our country again, and it STILL would be a better carrier than most countries have today (cough cough admiral kiznetsov lmao😂👍)
😅
It’s sad to think that all the other Essex class ships that looked identical (mostly) to this ship are either now refrigerators and pop cans, or at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean 😢
I know it’s a blessing that we managed to save 5 of them, and I also know we can’t save every single warship, 1, because our coastlines would be chalked full of unused ships, to the point of being unusable, and 2, because even if we did manage to save all warships with some sort of prestige due to battles won, we wouldn’t have enough money to keep them all in museum condition .. they’d all just rot away slowly, like us Texas did before she got 100,000,000 dollars worth of reconditioning
It’s just a shame that we throw these hulks away like they’re nothing.. uss nevada is a prime example of a ship that damn well should have been preserved.. she went through hell during the pearl harbour attack.. hundreds of sailors died in her hull, and she was literally raised from her grave, like a mid 20th century Lazarus, repaired and pressed back into service to show the Japanese that even our ships that were considered destroyed beyond repair are still capable of returning from the dead and killing everything in front of it, like the reaper himself .. yet, at the end of the war, we painted her completely red and dropped a nuke on her head like she meant absolutely nothing (which, to the admiralty was probably true.. all she represented at that point was gunnery target experience).. a ship like that deserved to wear and show off her war medals to the country she served and protected for a few decades 😢😞
🤔😕
I was on board 72-75, B Div-Oil Lab, Engineering Dept.
Thanks for your service, James!
Lucky You- 4- B...78-81
I got aboard in 1983 the mess deck looks nothing like I remember didn't know of the refurbish, that was throwing me off abit
Thanks for watching Steve!
A very different layout from the Nimitz Class Carriers.
Thanks for sharing! I hope to visit one someday.
@@AdamHems over my 32 Year Navy Career I deployed on 13 different Carriers. The Nimitz Class were the Best.
It's to bad that you could not show the 'bulls-eye' for the compts you visited.
As I understand it you are referring to the three dimensional address of each space or compartment I visited, painted on adjacent walls. I assume these were there but I did not know to look for them. Thanks for the pointer I will look for and include these any more videos I do like this one in the future.
FYI I also recorded a time-lapse of my visit to this aircraft carrier in 360° VR that you might be able to see some of the bulls-eyes in if you look around (use mouse on PC or finger on mobile to look in any direction): ruclips.net/video/jtsp2LLCPD8/видео.html
Some explain by à guide were very nice.
Mannequins look creepy didn’t have them on battleship New Jersey
I hope to do a tour of the Battleship New Jersey some day!
Those racks were long
:-)
Awesome video
Thank you Mike, I am glad you enjoyed it!😀
Thank you for protecting Japan. From yokosuka.
Thanks for watching!
30:24. How come the prisoner in the brig is black? And why does he have a Cab Calloway haircut? LOL. You're gonna get comments now!
🤔
@@AdamHems Also, why are there no stroke books in the lockers?
Camera movement gave me a headache, had to turn it off.Movement was too fast, made me dizzy.
I am sorry it made you dizzy Kim! Thanks for your feedback. They were about to close to I had to rush around! I have another recording of this same ship using a different camera from earlier the same day that you might like more: ruclips.net/video/jtsp2LLCPD8/видео.html. It's a time-lapse and recorded in 360 degrees so you can look in any direction, maybe making it easier to view.
They have opened so much more. Last time I was there was in 2010.
Thanks for watching!
camera is moving so fast I got dizzy
