THE HORNET VENUE
The USS Hornet is one of the most decorated ships in naval history
(it participated in WWII and the Apollo 11 & 12 manned moon missions).
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 many decks of the historic aircraft carrier,
including flight deck, captain’s bridge, sick bay, pilot ready rooms,
and much, 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 & meetings,
trade shows, social parties, and youth overnights.

The USS Hornet Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
All proceeds from this event go directly toward the
restoration and preservation of this National Historic Landmark.
