TOURING THE USS MIDWAY MUSEUM

Dec. 27 – Today we toured the USS Midway Museum in the San Diego Harbor. The Midway is an aircraft carrier that in 2004 was turned into a naval aviation museum. No other aircraft carrier served America in the 20th century as long as the Midway – from the end of WWII to the liberation of Kuwait in 1991.

And tying the sailor’s knots. It was a breeze for him since he used knots when he was in the tree business.

An engine, I think!

The anchor cranks.

It was pointed out that one link of the anchor chain weighs 130 pounds!

I just happened to catch this midshipman in the shower!! HA HA

And Ken caught me in the Brig!!

(PS. The midshipman in the shower is a mannequin!!)
