      ​@Roy Futrell Semper Fi to your uncle. A Captain's Mast isn't a commendation; it's actually a punishment. I'm not accusing your uncle of being punished, obviously; just letting you know so you could research his achievement again if desired. My personal history of the Hornet is short but sweet. While docked in Alameda as a museum ship, I was promoted to Staff Sergeant on the flight deck. Reason 1: I was born in San Francisco, and the Hornet faces SF in her current position. Reason 2: I deployed to combat zones twice on the USS Wasp, so the Hornet was a great replacement once I was back stationed on the west coast (Wasp is an east coast ship).

    I was privileged to know a WWII vet who served on the hornet and, being an artist, his commander assigned him to do the painting of insignia on the fighter aircraft.
    He also created decorative designs on the planes like Hollywood stars, girlfriends, and and nicknames for individual planes and their pilots.
    Additionally, he was asked to paint a mural on the mess hall wall of all the enemy ships and planes the hornet and its air crews were responsible for shooting down or sinking.
    In later years, at the time I knew him, he was asked by his son if he wanted to travel to California and visit the docked ship.
    He did visit and, while there, amazed his son by threading his way through the maze of passageways to get to his birthing room.
    Then, when the two of them traveled to the mess hall, they were standing next to the mural when their guide stated that they had been searching for years to discover the artist.
    He disclosed that he was the man and, " bells rang and shouts went out that they had finally discovered the artist ! "
    He was given an honorary membership in their veterans organization and free passes for life to the memorial facility.
    It was a high point in my life to have met and known such a gentle and interesting man.
    God bless him and all of his WWII veteran friends and comrades.

    She's near and dear to us and parked in Wargaming North America's backyard at the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier Museum, located in Alameda, CA. This Essex-class carrier led a storied career in and out of combat: serving in WWII, deploying to Vietnam, and playing a key part in the Apollo space program.
    The Hornet aircraft carrier is known as one of the luckiest of the American World War II ships. She sailed through 59 battles without any damage, and put an end to the history of the Japanese Imperial Navy.

    My Tax preparer was a Marine who landed at Iwo Jima at the age of 17 years. A very humble man who never spoke of his service until our Son-a Marine, was involved in both the initial military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. After surviving the war he graduated as an engineer from Harvard. He became a Naval engineer and was intimately involved in the “stretching” and reorienting of the (2nd) USS Hornets flight deck-the cutting in two of the vessel and addition of flight decking for jets. An amazing and successful project, and an amazing, humble man to have known.

I know a lot of people served longer, and risked their lives on the Hornet (CV-12)
    People just need to remember the second carrier Hornet was renamed while under construction, to prevent the Japanese from confirming the loss of the first Hornet. And of course, the survivors of the battle continued to serve for the Duration of US participation in WWII.

    Usually they talk about how the ships were used and modified after WW2 but not here. This is particularly unfortunate because the ship was modified so completely, men who served on her in WW2 wouldn't recognize the ship as it is today. And talking about the bow, angled deck, and other changes would be helpful for viewers unfamiliar with U.S. aircraft carriers.

    The war footage made me realize that if we have a conventional war today, there'd be people with phones or go-pros recording everything, maybe not livestreaming cuz military secrecy, but definitely a lot of actual HD footage afterwards. We might even have multiple angles of the same battle to construct VR experiences so normal people can be in the battle without the actual danger.
    That is, if we do go into conventional war, instead of just nuking each other off the face of the earth...

      SlipshodOdin 301 what about the Essex CV-16 Lexington?
      She was named after the second US carrier, the CV-2 Lexington Class: Lexington that was converted from a unfinished battlecruiser (supposed to be better then the battleship) class of the same name along with her sister ship the Saratoga, the original sunk in the battle of the coral sea after being damaged beyond repair and was scuttled by the Yorktowns bombers.
      When she was sunk the Essex class CV-16 Cabot was being built by the same harbor who built the CV-2 Lexington 21 years prior, they requested from Frank Knox if they could rename the Cabot to the Lexington, he allowed it.
      CV-16
      She shot down the most planes down in the whole war, and a highly decorated Carrier. She received the PUC award, and 11 battle stars and was the flag ship of Admiral Marc Mitscher who led the Fast Carrier Task Force.
      A added fact was that she inherited the nickname of her predecessor, Lady Lex.
      Also Japanese pilots and sailors nicknamed her the Blue ghost due to her Navy blue camouflage paint and that she bearded the name of a destroyed carrier.
      (that's what it says on her info at the museum at least)
      She was decommissioned in 1991, she served longer then any of the other Essex Carriers in the navy and because she was built before of their other surviving Essex carriers, she is the oldest carrier in the world and designated as a National Historic Landmark.
      After her decommissioning, she was donated to Corpus Christi, Texas.
      I've been dying to see some love to either of the Lady Lex and the Blue Ghost be on naval legends, she by far my favorite carrier because of her unique history and the fact I've see her only a few times in person and been only once to her museum even though I live in the city.

    Hornet callsign CV 12 she is the third and final ship of the Essex Class built to replace her Yorktown Class namesake which got sunk at Santa Cruz by kamikazes. USS Kearsarge was renamed after Hornet CV 8 was sunk and quickly put into action with the Pacific Fleet she fought from the Gilberts to Okinawa and even served in Nam and Korea and she was the ship that pulled Apollo 11 out of the Pacific. When Nam ended she was sold to the Alameda Naval Museum where she is today. Ranger also use to be there but that ship was mothballed and finally scrapped last year.

The cable shown on the Phantom (grey jet) looks to be a tie-down cable - and it's not even the same type as would have been used at sea.

    The Big E is the only Aircraft Carrier to smack down Hornet's record. At one point the Enterprise was the only US Carrier in the war til the new Essex class was built. So think of the Hornet (CV-12) as second place or runner up to the title of Great Aircraft Carrier. But remember this is the second Hornet the first one was sunk so you have to add that history to this Hornet. The Enterprise still lives on in parts that are mounted to the current Enterprise as goodluck
