Floating City at Sea: The USS Midway
7555 Draper Avenue, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
Did you know that only about 5% of the USS Midway’s 4,500 crew were pilots? That 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. Presented by a retired navy captain.
