The uppermost evel of the Island is where the Captain of the Ship and the
Steersman were.
The level below that is for the Admiral and other Flaf Staff were 
I was a Radioman Messenger and delivered some messages up there.
Very nice view of aircraft taking off from Flag Plot (as it was called).
The Admiral sat in a chair on the Port/Left Side and could swivel his chair
arounf to see aircraft landing.

Haven't been to see the USS Midway CVA-41 Museum, I was in Florida and saw
butdidn't visit the USS Lexington due to walking around the USS Alabama the day
before at Mobile, Alabama.

On both of those Carriers my sleeping quarters was underneath a Landing Cable
and I still remember BOOM! SCREECH, THUMP,SWISH, SWIST.
