San Diego, California, USA. Built in 1943 - 1945, it was commissioned one week after WWII ended. Until 1955, it was the largest ship in the world. To accommodate larger jets, the deck was expanded twice. It saw service in Viet Nam and Desert Storm, as well as a number of smaller scale incidents. Decommissioned in 1992, it is now a museum docked at the Navy Pier in San Diego. Staffed largely by volunteers, many of them served on the Midway during their Navy career, so they spoke about the ship from a personal perspective. Welcome aboard!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
That's quite a period of service and an impressive size...the presence of the people really adds to that perception...great angle and shot.

Very nice shot of this huge warship showing all details clearly Thad. I would find it very interesting to visit such a ship.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Very impressive size on this and this POV is excellent as well to emphasize the size.

I like the vantage point you've chosen for this shot Thad, we can clearly see the deck support struts.
Nice photograph!

Wow, fabulous shot and angle giving us such a idea at just how huge they are. In full I can see a couple of sailors looking at you

A great capture of the old carrier, Thad. A good perspective in the photo, and nice clarity and details in the scene.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
I love these old ships! Fave for sure on this.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
