Скачать или смотреть USS Hornet – The Lost WWII Carrier Found After 82 Years

The USS Hornet (CV-8), one of the most iconic American aircraft carriers of World War II, was lost in battle during the brutal 1942 Pacific campaigns. For 82 years, her final resting place remained a mystery. Today, we uncover the incredible story behind her service—from launching the daring Doolittle Raid, to her pivotal role at Midway, to her heroic final stand at the Battle of Santa Cruz.

In January 2019, the research vessel Petrel located the USS Hornet at a depth of 17,500 feet, perfectly upright on the seafloor near the Solomon Islands. This discovery finally brought closure to families and preserved the legacy of the 140 sailors who gave their lives aboard the ship.
