Hello, I'm USS Hornet Museum.

The USS Hornet spent almost three decades traveling the world's oceans in service to our nation. The USS Hornet Museum​,​ a State and National Historic Landmark​,​ is berthed at Pier 3 on the former naval air station in Alameda. The ship's active duty years spanned the 1940's - 60's. The historic aircraft carrier was a key participant in WWII​,​ the Vietnam War​,​ the Cold War and the recovery of the first two lunar landing space missions - Apollo 11 and 12. She was stored in a naval mothball fleet from 1970-1995. When the Museum opened in 1998​,​ it was the only sea​,​ air and space museum on the West Coast. The Museum is a great resource for local and international visitors. Open 7 days a week (only closed on Thanksgiving​,​ Christmas​,​ and New Year's Day) with a large percentage of the ship accessible for visiting. There are over a hundred restored spaces and dozens of exhibits to learn about the Hornets' career and what it was like to live and work aboard her.
