THE HORNET VENUE
The USS Hornet is one of the most decorated ships in naval history (it participated in WWII and the Apollo 11 manned moon mission). Now serving as a world-class sea, air, and space museum, the USS Hornet is permanently docked at the former Naval Air Station in Alameda. Visitors can explore the many decks of the historic aircraft carrier including flight deck, captain’s bridge, sick bay, pilot ready rooms, and much more. Exhibits include the West Coast’s largest Apollo Moon Mission display and aircraft ranging from WWII vintage to the modern era. The ship is available for corporate entertaining, social parties, and youth overnights.

The USS Hornet is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. All proceeds from this event go directly toward the restoration and preservation of this national historic landmark.
