USS Hornet
USS Hornet (CV/CVA/CVS-12) is an Essex-class aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy (USN) during World War II. Completed in late 1943, the ship was assigned to the Fast Carrier Task Force (variously designated as Task Force 38 or 58) in the Pacific Ocean, the navy's primary offensive force during the Pacific War. The ship was also used to recover the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 crews.
In early 1944, she participated in attacks on Japanese installations in New Guinea, Palau and Truk among others.
