The iconic USS Hornet's time in Alameda may be limited. An interdepartmental review by the City determined that it was not safe for the ship to host more than 660 people, so the museum has limited opportunities to create revenue by hosting large events. Matt Carter explains what we know so far. https://alamedapost.com/features/alameda-life/after-three-decades-uss-hornet-goodbye-alameda/

Surprising — or not — how little has changed. The necessities of war, perhaps. Halfway up Himeji Castle on the left; halfway down the U.S.S. Hornet on the right. Imagine climbing this in full battle armor and carrying a longbow.

(The railings at Himeji Castle are obviously for the tourists.)
