Overhead aerial view of the U.S. Naval Air Station Alameda, California (USA) showing the airfield and aircraft carrier pier complex hosting Pacific based surface forces. The aircraft carrier USS <i>Kitty Hawk</i> (CV-63) is moored to the left. The former <i>Essex</i>-class anti-submarine carrier USS <i>Hornet</i> (CVS-12) is moored off to the right. After the base closed on 25 April 1997, the <i>Hornet</i> was given to the former air station to be used as a museum ship.
