USS San Diego (CL-53) was an Atlanta-class light cruiser of the U.S. Navy that served in the Pacific Theater from January 1942 until it was decommissioned a year after the end of the Second World War. The ship earned 18 battle stars, and is second only to USS Enterprise (CV-6) on the list of most decorated ships of the war. She was the first major combatant into Tokyo Bay. The monument as shown here includes the crew list, and a chart of the ship's movements over a map of the Pacific. A beautiful monument!
This is one of two monuments to 'Taffy 3' in San Diego; the other is at Rosecrans National Cemetery. The units of this small, largely unarmed and vulnerable force of escort carriers, destroyers and destroyer escorts were faced with a far superior force on October 25, 1944, after the Imperial Japanese Navy's Center Force appeared suddenly in front of them, having transited the San Bernardino Strait in the middle of the night, undetected. Admiral Kurita of Center Force had the Super Battleship Yamato, the battleships Haruna, Kongo, and Nagato, 8 cruisers, and 11 destroyers. Just the Yamato alone nearly outweighed all the ships of Taffy 3. Admiral Clifton 'Ziggy' Sprague, whose monument is pictured here, led his force to survive the engagement, while his aggressive escort captains turned and fought the Japanese head-on. The story of the 'Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors' as Hornfischer put it, is one of the great stories in Naval history. It's no surprise there's two monuments just in one city; in my opinion there should be dozens more across the country.
This simple yet powerful monument lies just behind the USS Midway; it is dedicated to the U.S. Navy personnel who lost their lives on December 7th, 1941 during the Pearl Harbor raid.
The aircraft carrier memorial lists all of the named carriers up to the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76). Since then, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) and USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) have been launched, while the USS John F Kennedy (CVN-79) is nearing commissioning and USS Enterprise (CVN-80) is currently under construction. The sharper-eyed observers may notice that several hull numbers are missing from the monument...this is due to the pause in carrier construction in the late 1940's; CV-35, CV-44, and CV-46 were cancelled along with CV-50 through CV-58. None of these ships were completed. Only after a public outcry and an 'Admiral's Revolt' was naval aviation given its carriers back. Ultimately, the outbreak of the Korean War helped decide the matter, as the use of strategic nuclear weapons and long-range aircraft operated by the USS Air Force were shown to be inadequate responses to the conflict. This is a simple yet powerful reminder of the power of Naval Aviation - mobile, ready, and powerful. Sorry Air Force : )
If you can't make it onboard the #USSMidway in #SanDiego, no worries! The surrounding park is free, and easy to navigate. There's a monument to the USS San Diego as well as the units of #Taffy3. #PacificHistoryGuide has all this and more on the website, check it out! Details in the ALT.
③ USS Midway Museum
Stop by the legendary USS Midway — one of the most famous aircraft carriers turned museums in the world. Even a short visit gives you a taste of American naval history.

De este tweet, me ha llamado poderosamente la atención el #McDD F-4S #Phantom II del VF-151 Vigilantes en la catapulta del #CV41 #USSMidway el 1 de marzo de 1985. Lo curioso es que va con un Aim-9L #Sidewinder real x.com/Roberto_yeag...
Another good sightseeing spot near the San Diego harbor area is the USS Midway Museum. The museum itself is a tour aboard the US carrier USS Midway and it's a good glimpse into life in these floating cities. It's an interesting experience so go if you can.

Navigation on the USS Midway: radar, and star navigation using a sextant. Too early for GPS!

Made the switch to Bluesky.
Hello, Bluesky!
Decided my first post here should be an ancient #GPS receiver.
It's the one from the #USSMidway - glad I don't have to carry that into the field!

Mechanical engineering is a wondrous thing. People started staring at the wing internals besides me wondering what I was looking at, but that's it! Look at it all! The cutaway of its engine too, amazing! 🤩 #USSMidway
