The USS Hornet was saved from the scrapyard and recommissioned in 1998. The ship is currently operating as a living museum in Alameda, CA. This aircraft carrier has a fascinating history. Our local paper published an article on the USS Hornet last week which included this photo:
The hoisting options on the skid frame under the Airstream are very interesting. Also, rear entry... and what is that bezel above and to the left of the seal of the President of the United States? Is that a lock?
Pretty cool picture.
