The USS Iwo Jima picked up Apollo 13 crew in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii.
The name of the ship that picked up the Apollo 16 crew after splashdown was the USS Ticonderoga.
The recovery ship was the second USS Hornet (CV-12), a World War II aircraft carrier, which is now a museum ship at Naval Air Station Alameda in Alameda, CA. On the return from their historic first walk on the Moon, Apollo 11 splashed down on July 24, 1969, south of Johnson Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, about 15 miles (24 km) from the USS Hornet.
The spacecraft used for the Apollo missions was called the Command/Service Module (CSM). It consisted of two parts, with the Command Module housing the crew during launch, re-entry, and splashdown, and the Service Module providing propulsion and life support systems.
The name of the third crew member of Apollo 11 was Michael Collins.
There is no Apollo-2 mission. The Apollo program only went up to Apollo 17.
