Commissioned on Sept. 10, 1945, the USS Midway was built in only 17 months and served in the U.S. Navy from 1945-1992, becoming the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. On April 11, 1992, Midway was decommissioned in San Diego and was transferred to the Navy’s inactive ship fleet in Bremerton, Washington until 2003, when it was donated to the San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. It opened to the public as the USS Midway Museum in June 2004, in one of the most beautiful locations along San Diego Bay. Over the past 20 years, Midway has become one of the top tourist destinations in Southern California and the most visited ship museum in the United States. The museum features engaging and inspiring exhibits, an award-winning audio tour, dynamic interactive experiences, and more than 700 volunteers - many of whom served on Midway – who help bring naval history to life for visiting guests. Visitors gain a firsthand understanding of naval aviation through its full-motion flight simulators and virtual reality experience, as well as the importance of service and sacrifice at the Battle of the Midway theater. The museum’s more than 30 restored military aircraft tell the story of more than 80 years of naval aviation history. Visitors can also enjoy a bite at the Café 41 eatery and shop at the popular Jet Shop (gift shop). Beyond its exhibits, Midway offers a top-notch education program, hosts hundreds of events annually, and is heavily involved in both the local community, and in programs that support our men and women in uniform. The USS Midway Museum is not only a San Diego icon but is recognized as America's Living Symbol of Freedom.
