the USS Hornet, in Alameda, California, to test out the 2020 Jeep Gladiator and 2019 Wrangler on a custom-built
obstacle course. This event comes just a week after the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11’s splashdown upon re-entering
Earth’s atmosphere. The USS Hornet was there to retrieve the crew of Apollo 11 from the Pacifica Ocean back in 1969
and performed the same service for the crew of Apollo 12. The USS Hornet also participated in the three most
important WWII battles in the Pacific theater.Jeep has seen plenty of action on the military front, providing American armed forces with the 1944 Willys MB and
1951 M38 Navy Jeep, both of which were available for viewing on the USS Hornet. The USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space
Museum also had Jeep concept cars like the Jeep JK 75th Salute, JK Staff Car, JK Sarge J8, T1, JK Crew Chief and JK
JT available for consumers to view on the historic vessel’s deck.
The custom-built obstacle course was designed to highlight Jeep’s long history of performance. Features that tested
the 2020 Gladiator and 2019 Wrangler’s traction, capability, body strength, agility and were implemented in the
course. The 2019 Wrangler was named MotorTrend’s SUV of the Year and the 2020 Gladiator is Jeep’s return to the
mid-size pickup market.
