USS MIdway CV-41What a gorgeous morning. We started the day with breakfast on the patio overlooking San Diego Harbor. After breakfast we made our way down to the Midway Museum. The USS Midway (CV-41) is moored in downtown San Diego. CV-41 means Carrier class, fixed wing #41. It was cristened in 1945 just after the end or World War II and served the country until it was de-comissioned in 1992. It saw battle in Vietnam and its aircraft shot down the first two enemy aircraft of that war. It also served in Desert Storm in 1991. After de-comission, it was brought to San Diego and is undergoing restoration and being used a museum. Karen's Uncle Alan is a docent on the USS Midway. He was an intelligence officer on a similar carrier, the Hancock, before being stationed at Naval Air Command, Pacific in San Diego. After touring the USS Midway we went to Point Loma and Rosecrans National Cemetery. After this, we made our way back to their house for dinner and packing. Overnight, we had storms roll through the area, with hail, lightning and thunder. Very unusual for this area.
