Historical Snapshot of the Aircraft Carrier Hornet

The U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet is recorded as the eighth carrier commissioned by the U.S. Navy and the third Yorktown-class hull completed under treaty restrictions. It incorporated substantial anti-torpedo protection, while anti-aircraft armament was limited to eight single-barrel 5-inch guns. The ship's turbine plant produced around 120,000 horsepower, enabling speeds near 34 knots.
