LHR-BOS-ORD-SAN-LHR on BA and AA: Snow, Lobsters and Aircraft Carriers

[yflyer]

Of course, a TR would not be complete without a look at dining and accommodation onboard ...

Various parts of the ship were open to visitors. It was very interesting to get a glimpse of what life was like on one of these carriers.

Crew dining area...





Senior Officer's dining room...



I would guess this is where the Captain hosts dinners with his naval counterparts...note the Japanese/Oriental themed decor, from its last home port in Japan.



Regular crew bunks...



The Captain and other senior naval officers such as the XO, had private quarters...



XO's office...

Back on the main flight deck, a glimpse of two operational nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, in the current US Navy fleet, across the water...



If you are visiting San Diego, and are a military aviation enthusiast, or military history buff, I would highly recommend a tour of the USS Midway.
