USS Hornet

Not a model build, but exciting ship news.

The USS Hornet was found yesterday.

Thanks, Ray!

I have been following this on the J-Aircraft Forum. Like Lexington, Hornet settled right side up and with deck equipment (including a tractor) and recognizable, if damaged, aircraft in place. The Measure 33 camouflage is still visible on the hull.

Nice to see the ship found, now she needs to be protected unlike other war graves that have been destroyed by people I would like to see shot or hanged.

She's in extremely deep water, diver proof for the most part. The deeper the water the better the preservation.
