uss hornet
the uss hornet cvs-12 is an aircraft carrier turned museum anchored in sf bay. ben's cub scout troop got to spend a night on it. big boat. we can see it from the studio where i sometimes work across the bay. it's much easier to see in the morning when it's back lit and a bit hazy out. in the afternoon it blends into the background. it was fun. got to see everything but the engine room. the catapult piston was much smaller than i expected it to be. the captain's quarters sucked. the bunks were comfortable enough. but it was loud at night. and bright. they never really turned off the lights at lights out.
