USS Midway
The creation of a museum.
People look like ants from way up here.

The bridge, minus the wheel.
Coincidentally, the wheel was transported over from the loft at NAS North Island on this day. It was later installed.

On this day I only took one photo. You can see why I couldn't resist.

-Superstructure-
Up above the bridge I got a great view of an aircraft carrier leaving NAS North Island.
It isn't too often you can get four aircraft carriers in the same picture.
Left to right: CVN-70, U.S.S. Carl Vinson; CVN-74, U.S.S. John C. Stennis; CVN-65, USS Enterprise; and of course in the foreground, CV-41, the U.S.S. Midway.
How about four carriers and a frigate?
One departing, one arriving.
