is a non-profit, educational foundation
dedicated to inspiring visitors with the
excitement of naval operations, history,

It was the USS Hornet that held more flying aces than any other Aircraft Carrier of World War Two in the Pacific, and which was the Aircraft Carrier to pick up the lunar modules, Apollo 11 and 12, the original landing and second landing modules when they returned from the moon.
On-board the USS Hornet, are the TBM Avenger, f-8 Crusader, TA-4JSkyhawk, US-28 Tracker, F-14 Tomcat, SH-3H SeaKing, H-34 SealHorse, and the HUP Helicopter.
Monthly programs, such as Living Ship Day, bring alive naval life for the young and old.
