The first book offered CV-8 and CV-12. This Volume presents CVA-12 and CVS-12, the two ships that served the country during the Cold War and Vietnam. After WWII, as aircraft got bigger and faster, Hornet had two modifications and two different designations. CVA-12 made it an attack carrier and CVS-12 had it serving anti-submarine duty. These books, published and produced by the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum, are based on a collection of research conducted by former Hornet crewmember William Ballenger. He and his wife Anne spent fifteen years collecting data about Hornet from 1941 through 1970. The collection contains over a thousand photographs, hundreds of War Diaries, Action Reports and Deck Logs. The book does not contain all those details, only those that pertain to the activity related to the images presented or information having historical significance.

Download or read book USS Hornet CV 12 written by Russell Moore and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USS Hornet CV-12 was launched in 1943 and served throughout the second half of World War II in the Pacific. After various modifications, she was active during the Cold War and the Vietnam War. After this, she joined the Apollo Space Program, recovering the astronauts from the Apollo 11 and 12 moon missions. After being decommissioned for the final time, she rested for decades in the mothball fleet and was destined for the scrap yard until saved and turned into a floating museum. Today, eighty years after construction began, the Hornet is still serving this country with distinction, this time as an educational venue and community asset. This book tells the story of this ship over these eighty years, from design and construction to service in times of war and times of peace. The design was a pre-war design, before any of the lessons of World War II could be added, and yet this ship and its crew were able to meet every challenge they were faced with from 1943 until it was decommissioned in 1970 and then again as a museum ship starting in 1998 and continuing today.

Book excerpt: Just as the U.S. Air Force sends obsolete warbirds to the Arizona desert for storage and disassembly, the U.S. Navy maintains a number of harbors for its obsolete vessels. This collection gives enthusiasts an admiral's tour of the naval storage harbors in Philadelphia, Norfolk, Pearl Harbor, and Bremerton, Washington, as well as the once-proud fighting vessels awaiting reassignment, sale, or the cutting torch. Author Kermit Bonner takes readers through the entire disassembly process from start to finish, describing in detail how these surplus cruisers, submarines, destroyers, and aircraft carriers are scrapped, including more complex processes involving nuclear submarines.
