4th of July on the USS Hornet, a retired aircraft carrier which took part in World War II and the Apollo 11 space mission. The USS Hornet is docked at Alameda, California, overlooking the San Francisco Bay.

It was cold and windy, a good band was playing, and the Oakland and San Francisco fireworks were impressive but too distant to get a good photo. Here are some pictures from wandering around the carrier.
