The U.S.S. Midway welcomed guests Sunday aboard the aircraft carrier to celebrate the 100th anniversary of U.S. aircraft carriers.
“Today is an incredible day on the Midway and in San Diego which is the birthplace of Naval Aviation,” said U.S.S. Midway Museum Marketing Director David Koontz.
On March 20, 1922, the U.S. Navy commissioned the U.S.S. Langley, making it America’s first aircraft carrier. “What’s important with how it relates to San Diego. The first carrier the U.S.S. Langley was actually homeported here in San Diego back in 1924, it was the first permanent homeport and we have had aircraft carriers here in San Diego since 1924, so aircraft carriers have played an intracule role in the development of San Diego over the last 100 years,” Koontz said.
