Every year between Christmas and New Years we do ‘Family Days’ where each member of the family is responsible for a day’s schedule. For my day we went to the USS Hornet, a retired aircraft carrier moored in Alameda. We spent about four hours on board touring the ship – which wasn’t enough to see it.
In addition to three deployments to Vietnam, the USS Hornet was the recovery ship for Apollo 11 and 12.
