On 22 July 1969, Hassayampa refueled USS Hornet (CVS-12) during the Apollo 11 recovery mission. Hornet's deck log shows this occurring on July 22, 1969, about 36 hours before she picked up the Apollo 11 astronauts and crew fresh from their lunar excursion. This photo insertion has been made possible by Bob Fish, Trustee, USS Hornet Museum and former Hornet XO Chris Lamb.
