The San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum is a maritime museum located in downtown San Diego, California at Navy Pier.
Aircraft Carrier Museum
The museum consists of the aircraft carrier USS Midway. In August 1991, Midway departed Yokosuka and returned to Pearl Harbor. Here, she turned over with USS Independence which was replacing Midway as the forward-deployed carrier in Yokosuka. Midway then sailed to San Diego where she was decommissioned at Naval Air Station North Island on 11 April 1992 in a ceremony in which the main speaker was Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 17 March 1997. During the decommissioning process, she was used to film portions of the movie At Sea, a documentary on carrier life shown only at the Navy Museum in Washington D.C. Both sailors and their families participated in the filming or the homecoming scenes. San Diego city vacations.
