SOLD OUT

Exclusive behind-the-scenes ship tour to experience everything that you cannot see on USS Midway! 

This tour is limited to 20 guests and will sell out quickly. Because the tour involves ascending/descending steep ladders within the ship, we unfortunately cannot accommodate alumni with physical disabilities for the ship tour. Please wear sneakers and appropriate clothing for physical activity.

You will get a glimpse into the lives of active duty Navy sailors on USS Portland (LPD 27) and have the opportunity to discuss life aboard an active, commissioned warship with those very same sailors. USS Portland is one of the Navy’s newest amphibious warships whose crew is tasked with deploying Marines around the globe. The tour will include an authentic Navy lunch on the mess decks with members of the crew and veterans from the Cornell Club of San Diego.

Following the completion of the ship tour and lunch, you will have the opportunity to tour the Navy’s state-of-the-art simulator training facility for surface navigation. You will have the chance to drive (aka conn) a ship in the simulator on the same system that every Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy trains on to promote safe ship driving at sea while operating around the world!

Register for the event in two steps: (1) buy tickets on this site (below), and (2) complete the registration form (found here).

Registration Details: Limited to 20 guests and will close on 24 April 2024 at 11:59 PM. Please read and complete all directions in the registration form exactly or your admission may be jeopardized.

Driving Directions:  Enter through Naval Base San Diego Admiral Nimitz gate 6 (main gate) at the intersection of Harbor Drive and 32nd Street. Continue to the entry control point (with your BASE ACCESS PASS and PHOTO ID), stop at the stop sign, and wait for the guard to waive you forward.

Did you know?  Theodore Zinck was an Ithaca saloon owner whose pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular hangout for Cornellians in the 1890s. When he died in 1903, a series of bars in and around Collegetown adopted his name. Even though the last bar closed in the 1960s, Cornellians began commemorating the spirit of Zinck's Night by gathering on a Thursday night, once a year.  This tradition of coming together to enjoy camaraderie and refreshments has grown into a gathering for Cornellians everywhere.
