Laura Fies, Executive Director, USS Hornet Museum.

The storied history of the CV-12 started in WWII, made more history with the Apollo Space Program, and continues to this day as a vital link to Alameda’s past. Host Scott Piehler talks with Laura about the history of the Hornet, what it takes to keep her afloat, and why some of the candy from the ship’s original snack bar may still be edible.
