The USS Hornet, a WWII aircraft carrier set up as a museum ship in Oakland, has a very similar escalator.[1] It's a Westinghouse model, like the one in New York. You can visit and walk the escalator, but it hasn't worked in decades. Carriers had escalators to get many pilots in all their gear from the ready room to the flight deck, fast.
