Geoff Collins, former USS Hornet Marine detachment executive officer and member of the board of directors of the San Francisco Fleet Week Association, visits the nuclear weapons storage area he and his Marines guarded while serving aboard the USS Hornet (CVS-12), in the 1960’s, during a visit to the ship Oct. 7, 2012. More than a dozen Marines from the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit lived inside the museum ship while providing security for the static displays during the 2012 San Francisco Fleet Week. From Oct. 3-8, Marines and Sailors of the 13th MEU, I Marine Expeditionary Brigade, participated in numerous community outreach events, including the Italian Heritage Day parade, urban search and rescue demonstration, park restoration projects and hospital visits.
