    Beautiful lens! I visited the Midway but was not able to tour. Unbelievable ships. Thank you for sharing this information. Adding them all to my "to do" list!

    I can't believe that I haven't toured one of these yet. You know I'm going to have to fix that! Thanks for letting me have a look!!

    I have toured a nuclear sub and several destroyers, but never a carrier. I would love to take a tour. Great lens - thanks.

    Cool lens. I toured and stayed aboard the Kittyhawk for a couple nights. Fantastic memory -- but then, I was just a visitor. Thanks for the great pictures, text, and links.

    My grandfather served on the Yorktown. I'll have to go and visit for sure. Really enjoyed your lens.

    I served aboard USS Saratoga CV-60 from 1973 to 1977. She was my first ship. I worked in The Repair Division Pipe Shop, located over the port quarter and accessed from the port quarter.

    I've seen the Yorktown in SC. That sucker is HUGE!

    My dad is a big WWII buff, especially the war in the Pacific, so we toured carriers whenever we could.

    Wow, I absolutely love this lens. I came across doing research for a movie about the Battle Off Samar which involved several escort carriers during WWII. If you're interested, you can check out my lens on the project at http://www.squidoo.com/the-battle-off-samar

    My only experience of seeing an aircraft carrier was from photos that my girlfriend's son sent home when he was aboard te Enterprise aircraft carrier.

    My interpretation of a floating city...5,000 crew members, an infirmary, a jail, and post office is just a few of the amenities that makes the US Navy the greatest Navy in the world!

    I haven't toured an aircraft carrier but I have toured a sub and a warship. Interesting and we had to keep ducking our heads--some low overhead spots at the stairwells.

    I've never toured an air craft carrier, but I used to see them from time to time docked in Port Everglades down in Florida when I lived in the area. Once, I was in a tiny boat and we came up alongside the carrier and, wow, did that make us feel small! I'd love to go aboard one someday.

    A couple of years ago we toured the USS Nimitz when she hosted a Friends and Family Day Cruise. It included an awesome air show. Very interesting. We saw a big pod of dolphins too.

    Really great idea for a lens! This sounds like a lot of fun and it's very interesting.

    Well done!
    We toured the Lexington a number of years ago in Corpus Christi, Texas. Really enjoyed it. My dad is a WWII Navy vet and it kind of brought him back in time.
    Will drop back again!

    We haven't had the opportunity to tour an aircraft carrier yet but have done battle ships and subs. We have lots of Navy vets in our family.

    Enjoyed the lens, I see the history of these carriers on the Miliatary Channel, we toured the Intrepid last summer.

    I haven't been on an aircraft carrier since a kid, but it was really interesting! Nice work.

    My son is serving on the USS Nimitz. We went on the Nimitz Friends and Family Day Cruise in March 2009. They are awesome war ships! Lensrolled to several of my aircraft carrier lenses.
