The USS Midway was an aircraft carrier built during WWII. At that time she was a revolutionary vessel because her hull design allowed her to be more maneuverable than any other aircraft carrier ever built. I wanted to write this post just to pay tribute to this vessel and to bring to light just a little about her rich history.
This vessel also served in the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, and Operation Desert Shield. During the Vietnam war her fighters were credited with the first and the last air to air kills of that war. She is also known for her participation in Operation Frequent Wind which was the evacuation of Saigon at the end of the war.
She was also used to support Operations Desert Shield, and Desert Storm with sorties being launched from her decks. She was decommissioned in 1992 and converted to a museum. All of you who served on this ship certainly have something to be proud of. Many sailors and ex sailors will create a custom US Navy Ring to help to tell the story of their service. There is no way to tell everything on the ring just like there is no way for me to give you the entire story of this vessel in this one post. I hope that you did get an idea about this vessel and maybe you will be challenged to do some research on your own. If you do you are more than welcome to share it with us here.,
