USS Midway (CV-41)
Anchored off the coast of Western Australia near Fremantle.
September 1977.
In the lower left of the image, you can see the Liberty Party about to board one of the many ferries that carried us ashore.
The Midway was a grand old ship, first commissioned in September 1945.
I served onboard in the Operations Department, OA Division, as an Aerographer’s Mate assistant forecaster from March 1977 to March 1980.
