The next day, we toured the USS Midway. It is an aircraft carrier that was named after the Battle of Midway. The USS Midway was built in 1945. This was one of the last types of ships we had to tour! We had toured a battle ship, a submarine and a destroyer. We have now been to most of the ships in the game Battleship!
We saw some big ships on our way to the Midway.
They had a lot of old war planes.
The anchor room.
The radar room.
You could sit in different cockpits.
This was President Bush's war plane. This was the Barbara III. He named all his planes after his fiance. I am not sure if it was Barbara I or II that he had to bail out from.
Practicing ejecting from their seats.
The plane they used in Top Gun.
San Diego harbor view.
This is the helicopter that picked up most of the astronauts from the Apollo missions when they landed in the ocean.
You can see all the little apollos on the side.
We also toured below. It was very similar to all the other ships we had toured. Here they are in the Brig!
