From Hangar Deck to AI Lab: How the USS Hornet Built Its Own Private LLM
Join Us on July 14 6PM-7:30PM | IEEE SCV-OEB SSIT Chapter Meeting
Co-Sponsored by the OEB/SCV SSIT, SCV WIE and the SCV AESS chapters.



The USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum built a private large language model event using Google’s NotebookLM and 165 curated content sources.
Speakers Mark Rowell, CIO of the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum, and Chuck Myers, Docent and Board Member, will discuss the project’s design, content curation, testing, real-world use cases, and implications for museums, education, and historical preservation.
The program will include live demos, a deep dive into Apollo 11 and 12 mission content, and fresh material being loaded in real time. IEEE members and guests are welcome at 6PM Tuesday night at both the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda and virtually.
