The USS Hornet could be moving across San Francisco Bay.
The retired aircraft carrier and museum currently sits in Alameda, but the ship’s board of directors is looking to relocate it to San Francisco.
The USS Hornet doesn’t get any government funding. Instead, it relies on donations, memberships and ticket fees to stay afloat.
On a good day, it gets about 300 visitors. The potential move to San Francisco could be a game changer by bringing in more tourists.
The move is far from a done deal. The Port of San Francisco would need to sign off on it. The board of directors would also need to raise enough money to pay for the relocation.
The current timetable for the potential move would be in about five years.
