San Diego is the permanent home of the USS Midway, the longest serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century from 1945 - 1992.   Since 2004, the Midway is home to one of the premier naval museums in the world with more than 1 million visitors every year.  More than 60 exhibits and 25 restored aircraft are featured on the massive carrier - truly a floating city that provided defense for the United States and its allies all over the world.  The USS Midway deck, seen at left with the Anna Can, has become a popular media venue.   Two years ago, an NCAA basketball game was played on the deck between Syracuse and San Diego State.   The Midway has also been a filming site for American Idol and The Bachelor.
