Description

Apollo 12 was the second NASA mission to land on the moon, and the first to have an all-Navy crew.  While Commander Pete Conrad and Alan Bean landed on the Ocean of Storms, Richard Gordon kept the command module in orbit.  Reflecting the mission's all-Navy crew, the capsule was named Yankee Clipper.  Yankee Clipper returned to Earth on November 24, 1969, and was put on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton.
