The NIP San Diego team and NIP Chair Vice Admiral (Ret) Robert Sharp met with the CEO of the USS Midway Museum, Vice Admiral (Ret) Terry Kraft, for a preview of the new CVIC exhibit onboard USS Midway. The project team briefed the NIP members on the intelligence themes, displays, escape room experience, and dedication to the late Captain (Ret) Marcus “Marc" Luoma, who was the CAG AI on USS Midway during Desert Shield / Desert Storm.
The group then toured the rehabilitated spaces, which are just beginning the installation phase of the exhibit.
The Museum will hold a “soft” opening to the Navy’s Information Warfare community on Wednesday 25 June 2025, followed by the public opening on Friday, 27 June. Since 2025 is the 50th anniversary of the intelligence specialist (IS) rating, NIP San Diego’s chapter, along with the USS Midway team, will hold a joint celebration onboard USS Midway on 25 June in conjunction with opening of the CVIC exhibit. Please mark your calendars and join the Midway and NIP San Diego chapter in this epic event!
