USS Hornet Museum

2014 Annual Report A Message from the Board of Trustees

Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation Trustees are not only stewards for this World War II-era vessel, but for the legacy of the name Hornet throughout American naval history. To ensure success in this effort, the Board provides strategic guidance to improve and expand the valuable community services we offer. The primary ACHF strategic goal for 2014 was to dramatically improve the financial stability of the museum. The successful results of this program are reflected in this year’s annual report, and will provide a solid base for years to come.

Looking forward, the Museum will broaden its mission to more fully share the educational legacy embedded in very DNA of our historic ship. Aircraft carriers are modern science and engineering marvels. The USS Hornet has much to reveal for young minds seeking to learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). To that end, the existing STEM program is being enhanced through collaboration with the U.S. Naval Academy. This exciting development will enable us to expand our educational footprint in the community, further guaranteeing the USS Hornet’s relevance to future generations.

Offering high-value youth learning programs in partnership with our staff, volunteers, friends, and benefactors is a key component of our mission. Please join me in supporting these efforts through your time, talents, and treasure. Together we have created one of the most authentic representations of our nation’s naval, aviation and space history in the country. Now, let us press forward in sharing and expanding the USS Hornet Museum’s role in our nation’s future.

“Still on Station”

Page 2 USS Hornet Museum was a year that saw new Museum exhibits, exciting special events and speakers and even a “World Premiere” of a documentary about some of the men and aircraft based on the USS Hornet during WWII. The Museum celebrated lunar landings, hosted the Tuskegee Airmen, and 2014 heard about the from aHornet crewman who was there. An important new department was added and staffed to handle the growing fundraising needs for the Museum. An Audio Tour system debuted this year adding significantly to the Museum visitors’ enjoyment. On the national scene, the Museum was instrumental in securing a Congressional Gold Medal for the Doolittle Raid- ers. Meanwhile, there were improvements in every department of the Museum with good revenue growth.

2014 Annual Report Page 5 Congressional Gold Medal to be Awarded to the Doolittle Raiders While the USS Hornet Museum is appreciated for its valuable San Fran- cisco Bay Area community activities, it also operates effectively at the national level. The Museum joined forces with Air Force organizations to have a Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the famous WWII Doo- little Tokyo Raiders. The Museum staff and members responded with a blitz of letters, phone calls, and emails to their Representatives, Senators and military service organizations such as the Navy League. On May 22, 2014 President Obama signed the legislation awarding this prestigious recognition. Because the Museum’s predecessor ship USS Hornet CV-8 launched the daring raid on April 18, 1942, it is prominently featured on the medal, the first aircraft carrier to be so honored.

Page 6 USS Hornet Museum Museum Fundraisers & Educational Presentations “Living Ship Days” are educa- tional experiences held during the spring and summer months. By inviting speakers on a variety of historical topics, the Museum endeavors to offer a rich learning opportuntity for our members and visitors. During 2014, presentations included an eyewitness to the Doolittle Raiders onboard Hornet CV-8, Tuskegee airmen and an in-depth talk about the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Father’s Day was a family-centric affair with BBQ and a magic show.

Hornet Events Depart- ment produces several fund-raising events each year. From a large July 4th party to the end of the year celebration these events brought approx- imately 5,000 people onboard. Besides being great fun, the events made siginificant contributions to the Museum’s 2014 financial success.

The year was closed out, just like the past 15 years, with a fabulous New Year’s Eve Party. This year over 1,000 guests celebrated the arrival of 2015.

2014 Annual Report Page 7 Education The Education Department provides a variety of programs and events designed to educate the public about the role the USS Hornet played in American history. Almost 7,000 students from 180 schools took part in the USS Hornet Museum educational pro- grams during 2014. The Museum provides an ideal platform for public education in science, technology, naval history, naval aviation and lunar exploration that can be tied into the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) now being implemented in schools. These rigorous new standards require students not only understand sci- entific concepts, but apply engineering design princi- ples to solve problems. STEM-to-Stern educational programs combine his- tory, aesthetic and functional design, science, and engineering to give context to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts learned in the classroom. The Museum provides an

opportunity to contribute to the Bay Area STEM edu- cational community and beyond. In 2014, the Education Department and Live Aboard Making electric Department participated in SET SAIL at the United motors and learning States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Page 8 USS Hornet Museum Live-Aboard One the Museum’s longest running programs had 74 overnight events in 2014 with almost 9,800 partici- pants; most of which were students, church groups, and scouting organizations. For several years the Sea Scouts have held their Ancient Mariners Regatta onboard the Hornet each May. Over 500 teens and parents spend three days onboard holding training sessions and competitions. A new customer in 2014 was the US Army Reserve. Over 200 US Army Reservists spent their two week active duty time onboard Hornet. They conducted cargo handling training in conjunction with the MARAD ships moored near Hornet. That’s their ‘thank you’ card to the left. Now holding the record for the group that has trav- elled the farthest to participate in a Live-Aboard event, 75 Scouts and parents from Denmark spent a week on Hornet while they toured the SF Bay Area.

Dinner, waiting in line and learning a little about how an aircraft carrier works, all a part of the Live-Aboard ex- perience. Sometimes a short stay in the brig teaches a different life lesson.

2014 Annual Report Page 9 at night the museum

There are a variety of activities and events that take place onboard the USS Hornet Museum after the sun goes down. Dances, parties, tours, and on some nights even a few hundred people snuggled into their “racks” for the night.

Page 10 USS Hornet Museum Private Events brought over 13,500 people aboard for private, non-profit, or corporate parties in 2014.

Organizations such as Google, Hitachi, Red Cross, Jimmy Doolittle Center, NRA, ABC Supply Company, and Interstate Batteries wined and dined their customers and employees in the most unique venue in the bay area.

The Museum is transformed for an elegant evening of dinner, drinks and entertainment. The flight deck (above) and hangar bay (left).

Governor Jerry Brown came aboard with one of those parties as did General and Astronaut Kevin “Chili” Chilton, and Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

A party onboard the Hornet is not complete without taking a tour or two. The renowned USS Hornet Mu- seum docents are one of the highlights of an evening onboard. Mike Gordon in the fo’c’sle (above) and Charles Varaday in the navigation chart room (left).

2014 Annual Report Page 17 In-Kind Donors

Operating and maintaining a museum, which also happens to be a floating WWII aircraft carrier, requires a variety of mechanical and electrical parts, supplies and services. These companies and individuals provided the USS Hornet Museum with many of those items and/or services at no cost. Their donations are gratefully acknowledged.

Page 18 USS Hornet Museum Membership

Individuals, families, former crewmen, active and retired military, and history buffs are all examples of the people we have supporting the USS Hornet Museum as members. Our members reside in virtually every state of the USA as well as several other countries such as Japan, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands. The one thing they all have in com- mon is a desire to help preserve this amazing ship and her history. The membership dues help pay for our daily Museum operations and to fund a variety of activities. All Hornet mem- berships include admission to the ship during regular hours every day that we are open, discounts on purchases at our store, and discounted ticket prices to most events we produce onboard. Plus, we conduct special “members-only” previews and events that allow our members to experience more of the ship and her history than the general public. At the end of 2014 our membership stood at 1,542, an increase of over 200 from the prior year. VIP LIFETIME MEMBERS Duane Doyle Bob Fish Scott Smith Tom Krauss Chuck Vellone

They are from all walks of life and whether they are retired, still working, or students still in school, they all have one thing in common: they love being a part of the Hornet famiy and helping to make the museum the best that it can be.

The USS Hornet Museum simply could not operate without the many thousands of hours donated each year by the volunteers. To the “Red Hats” who make up our Security & Safety division, the Docents who guide and teach, the Air and Ship Restoration gangs, and the mostly unseen Collections volunteers, the Museum staff and Board of Trustees thank you.
