Thanks to you all I am able to afford to go explore fantastic historical locations like the US Naval War College and now the USS Hornet! This was an extremely exciting visit and I hope that the exploration of the ship gives you a greater appreciation for the grounds eye view of history and what it would have been like to serve during critical moments in history like the Battle of Midway.

What's It Like Aboard a WWll Aircraft Carrier? - Let's Visit the USS Hornet

We visit the USS Hornet to see what its like aboard a US Navy Aircraft Carrier. We explore the flight deck, control tower, navigation room, pilot room, and more! My intent is for you to get a better understanding of the realities on the ground when it comes to engagements like the battle of Midway. I hope this gives you proper historical grounding as you watch the action depicted in the Midway movie. I will note that this particular carrier is the USS Hornet CV-12 which was a carrier during the second world war but is different than the USS Hornet CV-8 which took part in the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of Midway. #History #Midway
