Hero Ships - Season 1 Episode 6 USS Hornet
One of the most heroic ships of World War II, CV-8 served as the flight deck for the Doolittle Tokyo raid, and its successor, the CV-12, endured 16 months of non-stop combat action, coming within 40 miles of Japan, and setting incredible wartime records. Some of those feats include: an amazing 10 pilots reaching “Ace in One Day” status; over 1,400 enemy planes destroyed; and an impressive number of Hellcat pilots who became aces.
