Details / Aircraft Carrier Museum
Berthed permanently alongside navy pier, on the North Embarcadero, the legendary U.S.S. Midway is San Diego’s most formidable and moving new museum. Commissioned on September 10, 1945, the 1001-foot-long, 47,000-ton aircraft carrier immediately achieved a major presence in the world.
After the carrier was decommissioned in 1992, more than a decade of painstaking volunteer labour, community support, and private contributions and financing led to the June 2004 opening of this extraordinary behemoth to visitors.
The museum houses a café and gift shop, and offers a variety of educational programs.
