San Diego Part 8: USS Midway

The USS Midway aircraft carrier is parked in the port of San Diego after being decommissioned in 1992. Even for non-military, non-history, and non-aircraft buffs, it's a fantastic and informative destination. One of the most interesting aspects was seeing how the crew lived and worked in cramped quarters for long periods at sea.

We can handle this.
