USS HORNET, a 19,800 ton Yorktown class aircraft carrier was commissioned October 1941 at Newport News, VA. On April 18, 1942, she launched the Doolittle raid of 6 Army B-25 bombers to attack Japan, a strike that caused little damage, but which had enormous strategic implications. In October 1942 during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, HORNET received heavy bomb and torpedo damage and was sunk by Japanese ships.
