This year, the last CSWP event (starting next year it will be CSWEs only) was held on the aircraft carrier USS Midway.  It was a great environment for us engineers (especially those of us with an aerospace background), because we got to wander the ship on our own and explore the aircraft and ships’ systems on display.   

Some of the many aircraft on the hangar deck and flight deck
