I literally checked the thread first for you posting those two facts, because of course you would. When I saw that you hadn't, I posted them myself.

And then come back later to find that you had posted those two facts. ROFL
You win THIS round of the history geek fight, brother!

It'd be neato if they could find an actual sailor from the vessel to tell his story...I'd pay 40.00 for that...

But, we didn't HAVE to read the OP to have that knowledge! So, we win!

The irony of you chastising me for reading comprehension issues when I spoke directly to a video ought not be lost on you...

wow. super cool. Imagine seeing the gun station you were at 77 years ago when the attack was happening. Unreal

I'd love to dive this sucker. 17,000 feet under is gonna be a little tough though.

It is amazing when one thinks about what that generation had to go through in firing the war. Am a big WW2 buff myself.

The Hornet played a key role in WW2, especially with the Doolittle Raid, which had a big mental impact on the Japanese. Even though very little damage, the mere thought of the home islands being attacked effected the high command and was partly responsible in them wanting to take Midway so soon.

I remember the movie on the Doolittle Raid with Spencer Tracy giving the night before speech and there is a dead Hornet's nest in the back corner of the room.
