This photograph captures an industrial elevator control panel mounted on a painted metal bulkhead aboard the USS Hornet. The black control box features a toggle switch with DOWN and STOP positions, marked with worn brass labels and a 'W' emblem. Gray electrical conduit runs vertically behind the switch, with a white duplex outlet visible to the left. A warning sign in red instructs to allow stairs to stop completely before restarting. The weathered appearance and vintage design reflect the ship's mid-20th century military heritage.
