Saw this beautiful lady and did the tour with my family 5 years ago. Took me a few minutes to go aboard her. The memories of being on my old naval base were thick. Eyes saw it as it is, my mind saw it as it was. In my mind I could still see all the Navy personnel and the ships the sounds and the smells came flooding back. Plan on going back someday
Thank you for posting this WONDERFUL video of the U.S.S. Hornet. I used to live in Fremont (8 years ago) and would go to the ship regularly. I currently live in New Mexico where we have no deep water ports - ha ha. Good job.
My father served aboard the Hornet in the late 50’s before transferring to the newly commissioned Independence. I even showed my son a cart my father plotted of one cruise in the Pacific he kept.
This is NOT the ship my father served on, the one that launched Doolittle's raid. That one was sunk in 1942 ** (Dad survived. He's still alive). He also served on the USS Iowa: tinyurl.com/yc24n8tp From WIKI: "Eight ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Hornet, after the stinging insect. USS Hornet (1775) was a ten-gun sloop commissioned in 1775, and served in the American Revolutionary War USS Hornet (1805 sloop) was also a ten-gun sloop and took part in the First Barbary War USS Hornet (1805 brig) was a brig-rigged sloop of war launched on 28 July 1805 and sank in a storm on 29 September 1829 USS Hornet (1813) was a five-gun schooner used as a dispatch vessel between 1814 and 1820 USS Hornet (1865), the first to be steam propelled, was an iron, side-wheeled steamer USS Hornet (1898), a converted yacht, was a dispatch vessel in the Spanish-American War USS Hornet (CV-8) ** launched the Doolittle Raid in 1942, fought at the Battle of Midway, and was sunk at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October 1942 USS Hornet (CV-12) was originally named Kearsarge, but renamed in honor of CV-8 and active through the rest of World War II and is preserved as a museum ship in Alameda, California"

The actions of an operational carrier are varied and intense, especially on the flight-deck. Dangerous is more accurate than marvelous, dangerous and intense, because there are way too many ways to die in a working flight-deck, and every rule for that world is written in blood.
"In the Navy...", tolle Idee dort auf dem Schiff ein Museum zu machen. Klasse Rundgang von Dir und so dicht an den Flugzeugen! Komisch, soviel Platz auf dem Schiff und die Mannschaft muss so eng zusammen rücken. Gruss DrDuu
Tolles Video von dem Pott. Die Hornet war ja im zweiten WK. und Vietnamkrieg aktiv, hat also richtig Geschichte miterlebt. Und mit der Bergung der Apollo 11 und 12 Besatzungen auch geschrieben. Sehr interessante Aufnahmen von einem Apollo Modul, und einer Quarantäne Box bei 7:29. Und von den Flugzeugen natürlich auch.:-) Daumen hoch!
I've been on her 4 times. I can't believe how much more is there. 1st time there were no tours, you could go anywhere. Last time the 14 was there, you know a 14 never flew off her. The Airstream was there but not much more. I need to go back.
Was there a couple of years ago and had forgotten what great shape those volunteers kept her in (a lot of SF bay cities won't contribute because it's a monument "to" war).
You are walking through the compartments that were used by the air wings when they came aboard as sleeping quarters. The round dome is the Spin 8. I had to chip the paint of the platform in punishment for being irritating to the Chief. circa 1963
Here is an idea I thought of. Use the flights deck and the main deck as a museum for people to visit. Take the lower decks and turn them into living spaces for old veterans to live in. Even homeless older men or women to live in. They could volunteer to clean up. If one of these ships can hold 5000 people. There is already a galley and kitchen to use. Just need supplies. Gee, I just wondered.
Eigentlich ist das ja "Männerkram" aber Frau findet das auch sehr interessant! Sieht toll aus auf so 'nem Flugzeugträger! Danke für's Teilen und beide Daumen hoch! LG Carola
Genial, auch mal machen wollen! Sehr gut gefällt mir die Leere und der original Ton, das macht es noch realer auf diesem virtuellen Rundgang - mit Kopfhörer und in 3D! Klasse Video! Daumen ganz weit hoch! Was kost der Eintritt?
That would be wrong. Boilers and the rest of the engineering plant take regular maintenance to keep them operational, and now the only maintenance she gets is preserving watertight integrity. To that end, a whole lot of valves were removed and blanked-over, pumps removed, etc.
@@tonyb5515 Very bad idea to put it in San Francisco. Also, the museum doesn't have a lot of money to repair the ship or get more aircraft. Remember that USS Hornet is what keeps the NAS Alameda alive.
We went to the USS Yorktown four times I didn't even know you could go up to the bridge until the fourth time we went. Its not surprising they thought this was a complete tour. I'm not trying to be rude you can get lost on these ships they are huge.
The USS Hornet CV-12 is not in San Francisco the USS Hornet CV-12 is in Alameda California in Alameda County at the former Naval Air Station N.A.S ALAMEDA
He's generalizing the location dude... geez, 'nobody knows Alameda, ca but they do know San Francisco. Just like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is not in Indianapolis but actually Speedway, IN,....
@@RedKnight-fn6jr That was a feature of Essex class carriers. I think they were added during the jet age because pilots wore and carried more and climbing stairs with all that was difficult.
I see a lot of posts re the Hornet. Why dont you show something of engineering? This could be the forward engine room as well as #2 fire room. There have been tours of said. I know because i have taken them
Thier is a hospital room wear they would treat the soldiers and an cafeteria were all the soldiers would eat and everything it’s really big and I’ve been on the top flight deck were the planes would take off
yup I just went yesterday and when me and y friends went to the room where the beds were it was really cold in one section and I had a panic attack so yea it was pretty creepy
Henry SpiderboyYT I’ve never seen someone more stupid Alameda is a county, not part of San francisco It’s across the bay which San Francisco does not stretch out to I wouldn’t be surprised if you say Oakland is part of San Francisco
Although she carried the name of the second of the most renowned carrier of the Yorktown class, I feel that her time might be at an end, now do not get me wrong its beautiful ships, but I think if there should have been 1 carrier of the Essex class that should have been preserved it was the USS Essex CV-9 in its WW2 configuration,
You keep editing the video I would do it natural I would do a raw video I would do an hour's worth of video aboard the USS Hornet and I would not edit it either
If you can film something in the city of Alameda get it right the Hornet is not in San Francisco that's false advertisement you could be sued for false advertisement

20 bucks is cheap. USS Intrepid is over 30 dollars. However it is free for veterans. I go occasionally there however it looks nothing like the other Essex-class carriers since the restoration.
That's cheap! Think of how often a person has the opportunity to walk on a Navy ship and hear of its history! It's a great chance to see it in person... To take the tour is worth the price of admission
Served aboard the Hornet as a photographer from July 1960 to August 26, 1963. Great ship.
I ride my motorcycle around the Alameda naval base all the time. Never went on the ship. Thanks for the tour video.

Her predecessor was found today, CV 8 lost diring WW2, feb13th2019, 77 yrs later.

Sehr interessant! Toll, dass man fast überall rein kann. Ich wusste auch noch nicht, dass man Rolltreppen auf Flugzeugträgern verbaut hat.
+HD1080ide Vielen Dank!
Spectacular video. I now live in New Mexico but, I used to go to the Hornet once or twice a year when living in the Bay Area.
Ist sicherlich sehr spannend, sowas mal alles aus der Nähe zu sehen. Danke fürs Mitnehmen auf diesen tollen Rundgang! Daumen hoch dafür!
I've toured this ship twice, great video.
Have visited the Hornet a number of times. Great tour. Lots of history.
Thank´s for watching!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I've been on the Yorktown in Charleston. Amazing to see
Nice video. Steady and just the candy !
Wow that FJ Fury is Nice !!!!

This ship was so spooky in the episode “Ghost Ship” on JAG. Glad to see Siddy Lenegro didn’t get his way! 😅
In Cub scouts I was able to see a lot more like the runway and the briefing room and we also slept where the crew would sleep
Was there a couple of years ago and had forgotten what great shape those volunteers kept her in (a lot of SF bay cities won't contribute because it's a monument "to" war).
Backpacker Thrulife she is in great shape
I remember her at the pier in Quonset Point, Rhode Island alongside Wasp in 1969-70.

Thanks. It is good tour. but USS Hornet CV-12 is in Alameda city, in San Francisco Bay, NOT in San Francisco.
They need more aircraft, repaint the deck and put it in San Francisco
@@tonyb5515 Very bad idea to put it in San Francisco. Also, the museum doesn't have a lot of money to repair the ship or get more aircraft. Remember that USS Hornet is what keeps the NAS Alameda alive.
@@etienneracine-hebert9870 ya and its docket in alamed cus its on the alameda air base that got abandon
You should do the overnight tour. I did it with the Boy Scouts
Can anyone explain to me why this carrier has THREE bow anchors?
No engine or boiler room? Those are the coolest parts! Nice vid though.
una pregunta, el buque puede navegar en caso de ser requerido o no?
No, por supuesto. Muy antigo. Y muy pequeno comparado a los buques actuales.
Huge!
+TheYottaTube Thank you!
Klasse Besichtigungsrunde. Und irgendwie sonst keine Besucher. Würde mir mal einen solchen aktiven Träger anschaun wollen :-)

My school went there !
Go to be on this ship for a week for USNCC orientation.
not the "complete tour.. . does not include the Firing room, engine room, boiler room, bridge, plot room and CIC room.. Still nice video though...

@@zen_-dt6ys I never got to😭😭😭
@@ognathan1995 well i hope you can go some time its really fun.
Is it haunted? Yes! I've been on that ship.
If I was going to do a video like this I will put down touring the USS Hornet Alameda California
When did they start installing escalators on aircraft carriers? All I remember is millions upon millions of stair treads.
That's probably just put in for the visitors.
I served on the Ronald Reagan no escalators
@@RedKnight-fn6jr That was a feature of Essex class carriers. I think they were added during the jet age because pilots wore and carried more and climbing stairs with all that was difficult.

I whent on the uss hornet it is so sad but there is very old candy and stuff and my sister was on it like our mom and grandma
btw not san francisco its in alameda
I see a lot of posts re the Hornet. Why dont you show something of engineering? This could be the forward engine room as well as #2 fire room. There have been tours of said. I know because i have taken them
I actually slept on the uss hornet and it was haunted
Mikebereal Garcia Why what do you see ?
I spent 30 mins in the infirmary, pitch black darkness. I didn't see anything. Pretty brave for a 12 year old
i spent the night to for boy scouts its not haunted its just a little scary but that it. ps its scary cus the turn of the ships lights
USS hornet is the biggest ship ever built
Thier is a hospital room wear they would treat the soldiers and an cafeteria were all the soldiers would eat and everything it’s really big and I’ve been on the top flight deck were the planes would take off
Mikebereal Garcia “sailors and Marines “
Is that ship haunted?
yup I just went yesterday and when me and y friends went to the room where the beds were it was really cold in one section and I had a panic attack so yea it was pretty creepy
they say its haunted but its not they just say the cus boy scouts get to spend the night thare for Halloween i did it its not honted
It’s actually in Alameda
Thought that’s where the nuclear Wessels were at
no its in san francisco
Henry SpiderboyYT
I’d like to ask DID YOU LIKE YOUR OWN COMMENT
alameda is in san francisco
Henry SpiderboyYT
I’ve never seen someone more stupid
Alameda is a county, not part of San francisco
It’s across the bay which San Francisco does not stretch out to
I wouldn’t be surprised if you say Oakland is part of San Francisco

No, they should've preserved the CV6, the Enterprise. The only survivor of Pearl Harbor. She was scrapped in 1958-1960.
@@PauloPereira-jj4jv Yes, yes, I know but it could not be done, she had a looot of issues,

Complete tour, not even close
USS hornet:still sinking ahhh
This is the uss midway
This is CV-12 USS Hornet. USS Midway is CV-41.
If you can film something in the city of Alameda get it right the Hornet is not in San Francisco that's false advertisement you could be sued for false advertisement

Simply not worth the $20 fee they charge you for the visit.

Worth it to see her well kept

I disagree, well worth the 20.00 bucks.
its so worth it you get to see all the stuff on it and in some parts they make it feel like your on the ship during war
