On Saturday, Emily, Ruby and I visited the USS Hornet, a decommissioned Essex Class Navy aircraft carrier moored in Alameda, California. You get free reign to wander the flight deck, hanger deck, and a deck or two below. The passageways are cold metal, strewn with gauges, levers and knobs. Ceilings are low and stairs are steep. In addition to wandering, we also took a loosely-guided tour of the island, which I enjoyed.
Overall I thought it was great. Would recommend. A+++. Great shipping. Not stroller or wheelchair friendly. I think kids would like it, though they should be young enough to be worn or old enough to climb a ladder on their own safely.
You can see all our pictures on Flickr. Here’s a sampling:
