I just searched and read an article about "The Second Taiwan Crisis," which dealt with the attack from the PLA (mainland China) on the Republic of China (Taiwan; ROC). I was there aboard USS Midway CVA-41, and observed many things which I have always assumed were more highly classified than should have been available to one whose security clearance was only "Confidential." Surely most, if not all of the things I know about have been declassified by now; however, because of the tenuous state of our relations with Communist China, I don't know if they should even now be mentioned. There were approximately 4000 officers and men aboard the Midway, so surely others saw some of what I saw, and--especially the officers--surely knew more about what was actually going on. Very few, if any, others saw one of the things I witnessed as I chose to stroll across the flight deck on my way to go on watch in the Flag Bridge.

What I would like to know is where would I start to discover what is classified, declassified, or simply not for public discussion? I am certain that bureaucrats would give me a kneejerk answer to effect that I should forget about it.Tbonepickr (talk) 02:01, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
