History
In October 1998, the ship was opened to the public as a museum moored at the former Naval Air Station Alameda (currently known as Alameda Point) on San Francisco Bay. She is a registered State and National Historic Landmark and is not funded by any governmental agency. The USS Hornet Museum is a timeless memorial to those who defended our American values and to those who have pursued America's technological advancements. The aircraft carrier USS Hornet is a national treasure, having participated in two of the greatest events of the 20th century -- World War II and the Apollo 11 manned space mission when the first humans in the history of mankind set foot upon the moon.
