USS Hornet Museum

On 6/28/2009 my son and I visited the aircraft carrier USS Hornet Museum in Alameda, CA. It was a kind of catch-up Fathers' Day visit.

We enjoyed the tours, the docents, and the exploring we were able to do around the ship. Very interesting.

There's a great introduction on the museum website: http://www.uss-hornet.org/

    This is the other end of the engine-room telegraph in the pilot house on the navigation bridge.
    Two pairs of propellers are controlled via the telegraph, with separate commands for each side of the ship.
    It feels good to be in control.
