2. MIDWAI_080723_083.JPG: Fo'c'sle Forecastle Foreward Castle or Anchor Room: GROUND TACKLE: Although aircraft carriers usually moor alongside piers in modern harbors, there are occasions where an ancient method of securing the ship in shallow water can be used: anchoring. Cast steel anchors can weigh up to 20 tons, yet it is the chain which fixes the ship to the bottom. With each link weighing approximately 130 pounds, enough chain for 6 to 8 times the water's depth is run, or paid out after the anchor strikes the bottom and as the ship backs away. Therefore, it is the total weight of the chain which holds the ship to her anchorage. The large mushroom-shaped objects near the end of the chain are called windlasses. The sprocket of the windlass is called the wildcat and engages the links as they come up the chain pipe from where the rest of the chain is stored below decks in the chain locker.
3. MIDWAI_080723_133.JPG: The Navy Shower: Fresh water is a precious commodity aboard ship. To help conserve it, shower heads are fitted with a push button nozzle which permits water flow only when pressed. A "Navy Shower" involves using the nozzle to get wet. Next, soap is used alone to get up a lather. Then the nozzle is used to rinse. The purple pipes in the shower are for jet fuel. Midway veterans still swear that the Midway's fresh water had a fragrance of jet fuel.
4. MIDWAI_080723_145.JPG: A Tragic Night: The Cactus Collision: 29 July 1980: Despite the dangers inherent in carrier operations, Midway enjoyed a remarkably safe career spanning almost a half century. However, fate caught up with her on that summer night in 1980. Outbound from another Indian Ocean deployment in the South China Sea, Midway was approaching the confined waters separating Palawan Island from the north Borean coast. She was engaged in a routine night exercise, first simulating merchant ship lighting, then cruising with complete radio silence and almost no radar emissions, known as EMCON Alpha. Approaching the carrier from ahead was a Panamanian frigate named the Cactus, her decks packed with bundles of wooden pilings. Through a series of misunderstandings, compounded by the Midways' EMCON status, the two ships converged until both vessels were forced to take drastic evasive action. Shortly after 20:00 that night (8pm), the bow of the Cactus slid underneath the Midway's massive flight deck overhand, the freighter's structure demolishing the tail sections of several Phantom jets on the flight deck and carrying away or destroying antennas and the Fresnel Lens platform. Worse, this LOX plant, which juts out from the side of the Midway, was massively damaged, tearing heavy equipment from their foundations and spraying liquid oxygen and nitrogen. Two watchstanders, Machinist Mate Second Class Daniel Macey, and Machinist Mate Third Class Christian Belgum, were killed in the collision. As the two ships wrenched apart, the Midways' crew labored swiftly to secure leaking jet fuel and confine the flowing supercold liquid gasses. has the two mixed, a massive detonation would have killed hundreds and possibly destroyed the ship. The Midway put into Subic Bay for repairs and resumed her deployment days later.
5. MIDWAI_080723_149.JPG: O2N2 Plant: The O2N2 Plant provided oxygen and nitrogen for use on the carrier's aircraft and ground service equipment. Nitrogen was used to inflate the aircraft tires and struts, and for emergency systems, such as canopy releases. Liquid Nitrogen Converters: Oxygen was used by crewmen flying at altitudes above 10,000 feet. The green bottles on the deck were used as oxygen reservoirs and installed in aircraft to convert liquid oxygen into breathable gas.

FOD: Foreign Object Damage: The Midway also tracked how many days it went without any foreign objects being ingested into the intakes of the aircraft on the flight deck. Crews walked the flight deck daily to clear the deck of even the smallest of items.
9. MIDWAI_080723_265.JPG: The Beginning... On March 20, 1945, the USS Midway was christened at the Newport News Shipyard. As the James River rose to a suitable level, the shoring and supports were removed from around the hull. At the right moment, Barbara Cox Anthony, the daughter of James M. Box, christened the ship with a traditional bottle of champagne. Barbara Cox, the widow of a naval aviator who was lost in a crash in 1943, was listed as the ship's sponsor. After being towed out into the James River, the Midway faced another six months of preparations for active service. On September 10, 1945, a mere eight days after the formal surrender ceremony on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the Midway was commissioned at the Norfolk Navy Yard. Artemis Gate, Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Air) was the principal speaker for the commissioning ceremony, describing Midway as representing "a great milestone in our naval history."

Because carriers spend a great deal of time at sea and operate their aircraft around the clock, some officers have only minutes to get away from their watch stations to catch a meal. The "Dirty Shirt" wardroom is so named because work uniforms and flight suits are acceptable attire for dining in this wardroom. The food service is cafeteria style and beverages are self-dispensing. The seating arrangement is communal and functional. In the corner is a video monitor which showed PLAT (Pilot's Landing Aid Television) action of the flight deck during flight operations. The video you are seeing is actual Midway footage. Notice how close the landing intervals were between aircraft. Nor surprisingly, the Dirty Shirt Wardroom became a popular hangout for the pilots to grab a cup of coffee and unwind after a mission.

Wikipedia Description: USS Midway (CV-41)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

USS Midway (CVB/CVA/CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class, and the first to be commissioned after the end of World War II. Active in the Vietnam War and in Operation Desert Storm, as of 2004 she is a museum ship in San Diego, California. She is the only remaining aircraft carrier of the World War II era that is not an Essex-class ship.

Midway was laid down 27 October 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding Co., Newport News, Virginia. Her revolutionary hull design was based on what would have been the Montana class battleships and gave her superior maneuverability over all previous carriers. She was launched 20 March 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Bradford William Ripley, Jr.; and commissioned 10 September 1945, Captain Joseph F. Bolger in command.

Early operations and deployment with the 6th Fleet:

After shakedown in the Caribbean, Midway joined in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet training schedule, with Norfolk her homeport. From 20 February 1946 she was flagship for CarDiv 1. In March, she tested equipment and techniques for cold weather operations in the North Atlantic. East Coast and Caribbean training was highlighted by Operation Sandy in September 1947, in which she test fired a captured German V-2 rocket from her flight deck, the first such launching from a moving platform.

On 29 October 1947, Midway sailed for the first of her annual deployments with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. A powerful extension of sea/air power, Midway trained between deployments and received alterations necessary to accommodate heavier aircraft as they were developed. In 1952, she participated in North Sea maneuvers with NATO forces, and on 1 October was redesignated CVA-41.

Midway cleared Norfolk 27 December 1954 for a world cruise, sailing via the Cape of Good Hope for Taiwan, where she joined the 7th Fleet for operations in the Western Pacific until 28 June 1955. During these ...More...

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
