The USS Hornet is a decommissioned US Navy aircraft carrier used in the World War II and Vietnam War theaters. The USS Hornet has served its role in several other historical events including various recovery missions for NASA's Apollo space program. Commissioned in 1943, this ship was part of the US Navy fleet for nearly 30 years until its retirement in 1970. Today, the USS Hornet has been repurposed as a museum ship in Alameda, California.
