One new item was the Midway carrier museum. Where is it moored and what
has it to offer?

If you are going to be at the convention center, it is to your left as
you come out - towards the airport. About a mile, I would guess.
Basically right downtown. If you leave the airport on Harbor Drive
(going south, or left from the airport) it is about 2 miles, give or
take a bit.

There is also the ship (the "Rose" I believe) that was used in the
filming of "Master and Commander" you can tour. Pretty good tour - you
learn a lot about how the ship was modified and how things got done to
fool the camera.

On either side of the "Rose" is a ferry and a clipper both open for
tours. Worth the money all around.

Couple of excellent resturants there as well.

And it's an easy stroll/jog/ride from the hotel district downtown.

If you can get to Balboa Park (where the zoo is) there is also an
excellent aviation museum up there.

Absolutely. I unconditionally recommend it. I was there a bit earlier, I've
been lax about putting up a Trip Report.
Actually, all of Balboa Park is worth seeing. San Diego is a delightful
Tourist City - It's a great place to visit, something for everybody, and
compact enough that you only need to spend minutes traveling to/from
wherever you'd like to go.
