This narrative history of the USS Midway provides readers with a series of vignettes exploring the storied service of this complex vessel from its commissioning in 1945, through its service in Vietnam and its contemporary use as a floating naval museum in San Diego Harbor. The work is drawn from the author's numerous interviews with Midway sailors and includes numerous behind the scenes photographs with explanatory captions. McGaugh helped create the USS Midway Museum.
