Yes - Fisherman’s Wharf is better located, better accessed, better advertised. Lots more (by many tens of thousand) walk-by tourists and locals.

Too bad it is next to San Francisco resident looneys.
They could have had a good exhibit: able to grow in the future, with the WWII battleship, WWII Liberty Ship, WWII submarine ... SFO is world-famous for its bases and airbases, (former) shipyards and construction (like the Kaiser yards, NAS Alameda, SF Naval Shipyard, Treasure Island, Oakland, Vallejo Naval Shipyard, the air bases and blimp stations in San Jose, the naval weapons depots up the Sacramento river, etc.

But the current residents?

They'd be honored in Kamchatka in the Siberian gold mines under Stalin.

The USS Hornet is seriously struggling at Alameda. It is really out of the way. It deserves better.
