Excerpt:

Veterans will gather aboard the USS Hornet on Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary of the aircraft carrier's commissioning and the USS Hornet Museum's 15th anniversary.

Saturday's event is part of the museum's monthly "Living Ship Days" program at the USS Hornet museum at 707 W. Hornet Ave. on Pier 3 at 11 a.m.

An exhibit titled "Hornet: Reflection Through Time," will also be on display with a timeline showing all the ships that bore the Hornet's name starting from the 1700s, Hornet Museum CEO Randall Ramian said.
