  • Ready to watch something mind-blowing? The USS Midway Museum crammed an entire city into an aircraft carrier, complete with 4,000 19-year-olds from all over the world! From restaurants and shops to a jail and church, this 70,000-ton floating city had it all. And with epic leisure time activities like skeet shooting and golfing on board, there was never a dull moment. Despite tight quarters and little sleep, the crew of the USS Midway worked together like a well-oiled machine. Check out the YouTube video “Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat: Life on a Floating City” with the link in our bio.
