I know we have some Navy folks of this vintage so I thought I would share a video I found posted by a retired USAF WSO of his tour of the USS Midway back in 1985
He was attached to the Cope Thunder exercise which the Navy also participated in there in the Philippines.
It seems the Navy gave him a great tour of their operations.
Nothing fancy but it is great to see the Phantom and A-7 doing their thing

His video of Cope Thunder bombing runs gone wrong is also well worth a look.
