She is in far better condition, especially the interior, than one would know. This especially so when compared to Intrepid, Yorktown and Lexington. Many of the ships systems are operational due to volunteers. I have restored her for 10 years now.

Hornet was involved in Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions... Neil Armstrong's first steps back on Earth were on the USS Hornet.
