October Chapter Meeting
Maintaining the USS Hornet as a Real Estate Facility
Please join us for a unique adventure to tour the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, one of the most decorated ships in naval history. Expert docents will lead groups to the Captain's bridge, Medical Spaces, gun mounts, engine rooms, and many other interesting areas of the ship. Our speaker will highlight how this National Historical Landmark is maintained as a real estate facility, followed by refreshments on the deck as we watch the sunset.
The USS Hornet is a national treasure, having participated in two of the greatest events of the 20th century - World War II and the Apollo 11 manned space mission. Now peacefully moored at Alameda Point on San Francisco Bay, the USS Hornet is a timeless memorial to those who defended our American values and to those who have pursued America's technological advancements.
Our speaker will be Erneto Zambrano, Chief Engineer.
Please wear comfortable warm clothes that are suitable for climbing on ladders. No open-toed shoes and heels are allowed. Tour participants must be in good physical health as there will be lots of walking and climbing.
