Alameda has the USS Hornet (which is also struggling). Some of us in the Bay Area have talked about how nice it would be to have all 4 ships side by side. Wouldn't that be a nice tourist destination but I guess we'll have to keep on dreaming for now.

One chap I know thinks it'd be great at Alameda bow out so the A and B turret point directly out towards SF...
