I would so love to see all this in person as my dad served on the Midway, but I'll probably never get to visit California. If I ever do get to go to California, I'll definitely be visiting this aircraft carrier. Thank you for sharing this. My dad used to talk about it, and I've always wanted to see it.

I went aboard the Midway some years ago. It’s immense. What an experience. I’m going back again this fall.

went to the midway as a birthday present to myself one year. then dragged my sister and a friend there too. she is a lovely boat to visit

This is so cool and I love San Diego. I love the way the city looks from the ship

Hey, you didn't have to do this! What a great guy, to throw this fun and knowledge in everyone's direction! I didn't see this one coming, sort of more of an exhibit tour than a travel destination tour; but score it just the same :)

Man i just saw the ship 2 days ago i cant get enough, i saw new areas i didn't see it was so cool walking through i wish i could have seen more of the ship the block off area interested me the most so many room and hallway to go down thank you for the video it made my visit so much more memorable.

Most of what is blocked off is used as offices and such for the staff and volunteers on board, and not to mention a lot of spaces are just copy and paste of whats on the public tour route.

Exceptionally well done Chris. Thank you.

Nice video! As a Data Systems Technician on the U.S.S. Midway in 1986 I may have maintained that very 642 Bravo in your video (minute 26) among other gear... Believe it or not this beast only had 32k of memory, consisting of tiny magnetic donuts with wires going through them in different directions. Send a current down a wire running in a certain direction imparting a certain magnetic field, then a current down another wire to read that field (one or zero)! If I recall ,the bottom couple of 'drawers' consisted of these magnetic donut arrays. Pretty amazing when you think that, as of this writing, you can buy a solid state drive, the size of a stick of gum, that holds 2 terabytes of data for under a hundred dollars!

When I was onboard the "Bowling Alley" was a passageway that ran port to starboard under the flight deck. I wasn't aware of another.

I went to this ship museum several years ago. It was absolutely amazing! My brother was in the Navy and I really enjoyed seeing what it must have been like for him. Thanks for the memories!

Very interesting, thanks. I always wondered what the day to day life of a pilot on a aircraft carrier was like. Were they just wandering around the ship, watching the sailors mop the floors, when not flying, or where they somehow involved with the upkeep and maintenance of the ship too? (Not a question, just me musing.)

My family and I visited many years ago. It’s an amazing ship! I was having a great time, until I encountered the elderly man, that was running a simulator ride at that time. While I was watching, a group of Japanese tourists climbed onboard. You could clearly hear them laughing and screaming and having a great time. The elderly man looked at a group of Caucasian folks, and said ‘they think they’re Kamikaze pilots.’ He wasn’t even joking. The folks that he was talking to, clearly looked uncomfortable, and I was mortified at his comment. My father and his entire family lost everything, when they were put into internment camps during WWII. I have had to endure rude comments thrown my way, most of my growing up years, because I’m American of Japanese descent, born in the early 60’s. I felt this elderly man was being offensive towards these tourists, and it really bothered me at that time.
