Pacific Reserve Fleet, Alameda was a part of the United States Navy reserve fleets, also called a mothball fleet, that was used to store the many surplus ships after World War II. The Pacific Reserve Fleet, Alameda was part of the former Naval Air Station Alameda in Alameda, California, in the San Francisco Bay. Some ships in the fleet were reactivated for the Korean War and Vietnam War.

The site today is the USS Hornet Museum, home of the USS Hornet that opened in 1998 and, from 1976, home of the Ready Reserve Fleet, of the Ready Reserve Force, managed by United States Maritime Administration (MARAD).
