Program Description

Event Details

Did you know that only about 5% of the USS Midway’s 4,500 crew were pilots?  The other 95% operated a floating city at sea—restaurants, barber shops, city utilities, convenience stores, police, hospital, newspaper, hotels, laundry and much more—so that the pilots could launch when the nation called.  Explore this floating city at sea, all within the confines of three football fields!
