Pilots claimed to have shot down 30 aircraft and to have destroyed 29 more on the ground. They received an AN/SQS-23 sonar mounted in the bow, as well as improved displays in the Combat Information Center. The Ten-Go force was spotted by American submarines shortly after it put to sea on 6 April. [54], The increasing threat from kamikaze suicide aircraft that had damaged seven carriers since the invasion of Leyte caused the navy to reassess its air group composition. It covered a distance of 2,106 miles (3,388 kilometers) in 16 hours, 52 minutes, and set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale world record for helicopters. Hornet's Avengers put at least one torpedo into the battleship, the first of the ten torpedoes and five bomb hits that sank her less than two hours later. [11], The Essex-class carriers were designed with little space reserved for radar and the additional systems added while under construction contributed to the general overcrowding of the crew and the cramped island of the ships. Naast het uitvoeren van een grotere groep lucht, het nieuwe ontwerp bezat een sterk verhoogde anti-aircraft bewapening. [72] "On 11 September 1953, she was recommissioned as an attack carrier. 37, 66, Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Brown 2009, pp. Task Group 58.1 had exchanged Cowpens for Hornet's sister Yorktown so it mustered a pair each of fleet and light carriers for the campaign. [60], While refitting in Ulithi, Air Group 17 relieved Air Group 11 aboard the Hornet before departing on the 14th for another series of attacks on Japan in preparation for the invasion of Okinawa.

They were intercepted by 17 Hellcats from Hornet and Yorktown which shot down 6 Zeros and a Jill, with Hornet's fighters claiming 9 aircraft in exchange for a damaged Hellcat. Facilities in Ulithi Atoll were limited, but they have been able to install some of the new equipment that was fielded in late 1944 and 1945. [1], Building on her status as an authentically restored aircraft carrier, Hornet has been featured in a number of film and television shows.

Afterwards, the ASW carriers sometimes received a detachment of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft. American claims were 52 aircraft shot down and more than 60 destroyed on the ground in exchange for 55 aircraft lost to all causes between 19 February and 1 March. [37], That same day, Sample was relieved to take command of a carrier division and Captain Austin Doyle replaced him. In early 1944, she participated in attacks on Japanese installations in New Guinea, Palau and Truk among others. [29], That night the Americans had tracked reinforcements flying from Truk to Guam and Mitscher ordered fighters from Task Group 58.1 to patrol over Orote Field. 463–464; Tillman 2010, pp. In 2004, she was the set for scenes from the movie XXX: State of the Union, which starred Ice Cube, and portions of the 2007 film Rescue Dawn, which starred Christian Bale, were shot on board. The early morning searches by the Americans were not successful, but the Japanese had been tracking them continuously since 01:00. The ship then trained in the Caribbean Sea before departure from Norfolk on 11 May 1954 on an eight-month global cruise. [9], The main armament of the Essex-class ships consisted of a dozen 38-caliber 5-inch (127 mm) dual-purpose guns arranged in two superfiring pairs of twin-gun turrets fore and aft of the island and four guns in single mounts on the port side of the flight deck. Fighters were obviously needed more to intercept the kamikazes before they could reach the fleet so the groups were reorganized to consist of 73 fighters and 15 dive and torpedo bombers each. Many aircraft had to wait almost two hours before receiving their targets for lack of sufficient communications channels. Hornet was reactivated during the Korean War of 1950–1953, but spent the rest of the war being modernized to allow her to operate jet-propelled aircraft. 181–182, 307–308, 311; Vol. This exceeded the previous record distance by more than 750 miles (1,207 kilometers).

Tijdens deze periode, de drager werd ook betrokken bij het herstel missies voor NASA. Both task groups launched large airstrikes later that morning to attack the defenses of the landing beaches themselves and the area immediately behind them. In oktober, Hornet voorzien directe steun voor de landingen op Leyte in de Filippijnen voordat hij verwikkeld in de Battle of Leyte Gulf . [36], The task group arrived at Eniwetok on 27 June and departed to attack the Bonins again three days later, now reinforced by Task Group 58.2. 64–65; Polmar & Genda, I, p. 385; Reynolds, pp. Little opposition was encountered when the naval aviators flew their morning airstrike over Formosa and the carriers began to withdraw that afternoon, having lost 23 aircraft to all causes. Some of the ship's Mk 51 directors may have been replaced by Mk 57 directors with an integral Mk 34 fire-control radar and the Mk 4 fire-control radar atop the Mk 37 directors may have been upgraded to a Mk 12 system that shared its mount with a Mk 22 height finder. 252–255; Faltum, pp. Op 24 november, Hornet speelde een soortgelijke missie toen het herstelde Apollo 12 en de bemanning in de buurt van Amerikaans Samoa.

The hangar deck was also 2.5 inches thick and the protective deck below it was 1.5 inches (38 mm) thick. The steering gear was protected by 2.5-inches of special treatment steel. 445–446, Brown 2009, pp. The Japanese spotted the ships during the night of 28/29 April, but their weak attack later that morning was ineffective and the 84 Grumman F6F Hellcats of the morning fighter sweep were opposed by about 60 Zeros. By this time, the fighter squadrons included specialist photo-reconnaissance and night fighter aircraft. One aircraft was reportedly destroyed at Del Monte Airfield and six others were damaged. Later that morning TG 38.1's aircraft attacked targets near Clark Air Base and San Bernardino Strait, losing seven aircraft to all causes. The following day, TG 581.1 reconnaissance aircraft spotted a convoy that consisted of two troop transports, an ammunition ship and five escorts off Amami Ōshima headed for Okinawa; an 112-aircraft airstrike from Clark's carriers sank them all. TF38 claimed to have sunk or damaged seven oil tankers, but Japanese records show that nine were sunk or wrecked. In the early afternoon of 11 October, TG 38.1 and 38.4 launched an airstrike again the airfield in Aparri, on the northern coast of Luzon, which claimed to have destroyed 15 aircraft on the ground. McCain attacked Manila again on 19 November, but with much less effect; sinking three merchantmen, damaging thirteen others and claimed to have destroyed 116 aircraft, mostly on the ground, for the loss of 13 planes in combat. Task Force 58 departed Majuro on 6 June in time to begin the air strikes on the southern Marianas six days later, three days prior to the planned amphibious assault on Saipan, although the Japanese discovered that it had left Majuro on 8 June. [69], Clark ordered that the damaged sisters steam backwards at 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) and launch their aircraft over the stern on 7 June as they provided the CAP over the task group. After arriving in Leyte on 13 June, Clark relinquished command of the task group and Hornet was ordered home for repairs,[70] arriving in San Francisco on 7 July. The afternoon's scheduled airstrikes were canceled to allow TF 58 to protect its damaged ships as they withdrew; further attacks on 20 and 21 March failed to significantly damage any more ships. Pros: - Great, warm sounding mic - Balanced frequency responce - Comfortable case for transporting - Pleasant design Cons: - The shockmount is not strong enough. Low on fuel, many ships were top-heavy and rolled heavily which sometimes broke aircraft free from their tie-down chains. On 9 April, McCain had Clark's aircraft demonstrate the effectiveness of napalm bombs on the coastal defenses of Okidaitōjima, southeast of Okinawa. The hangar was connected to the flight deck by three aircraft elevators, two in the flight deck and a folding one on the port side of the flight deck, abreast the island. The Japanese admitted losing at least 78 aircraft in aerial combat while claiming to having shot down 134 aircraft themselves; the Americans lost 88 aircraft to all causes. During these deployments the carriers were responsible for escorting the attack carriers in the South China Sea and providing combat search and rescue. [82], Hornet recovered the three astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin) and their command module Columbia from the first Moon landing mission, Apollo 11, after splashdown about 900 miles southwest of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean on 24 July 1969. Halsey turned his ships northward and attacked Formosa and the Hong Kong area on 15–16 January and reattacked Formosa on the 21st after having exited the South China Sea. Scorched from the heat of its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, the Apollo space capsule, designed to carry American astronauts to the Moon, was brought aboard Hornet after its test; that command module is currently on display aboard Hornet. [50], The task group was too far away to intervene when the Japanese surprised the American escort carriers off the coast of Samar on the morning of 25 October with their force of battleships and cruisers, but McCain's carriers were able to close the distance enough by the early afternoon to launch two long-range airstrikes that accomplished little. The first airstrike of about 20 torpedo bombers had every aircraft shot down by fighters and anti-aircraft fire and the second of 23 Zeros, 9 Judys and 9 Jills never found the American ships. Five days later the Japanese launched a mass airstrike on 6 April that consisted to almost 700 planes, of which at least 355 were kamikazes. Hornet was completed with most of her radars mounted on the tripod mast atop her island.
